Plan Your Meeting By Season

Savannah’s seasonality features moderate weather and year-round appeal — making meeting in the lighter seasons ideal.

To help you plan, here’s what your attendees can expect whenever they visit and meet in Savannah, GA, from the temps to the events!

Spring

March - June

With the azaleas in bloom and temperatures that sit comfortably in the 70s, Savannah wears spring beautifully. As one of the destination’s most popular times of the year, the weather is pleasant nearly all season long, allowing for abundant group activities and outdoor opportunities.

Whether you stroll through the squares lined with flowers, bask on the Tybee Island beach, or attend a music festival, there is something for everyone in the group to enjoy before, during, and after meetings.

Add a little fun and a lot of green to your meeting when you plan it around one of Savannah’s most popular events of the year — the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Held on March 17, it’s the third-largest parade in the world and features spectacular performances and an exciting, cheerful atmosphere felt around the city.

Summer

June - September

It wouldn’t be summer in the South without the sunshine! During this season, your attendees could expect occasional afternoon thunderstorms and temperatures typically hitting in the 80s and 90s, so they will want to dress cool and comfortable, stay hydrated and consider having a small umbrella on hand for those quick pop-up storms.

The options are countless when it comes to finding ways for your group to enjoy Savannah’s sunny summer days. Take advantage of them by incorporating some fun summertime activities and top events of the season into your itinerary.

Plan an off-site outing or a day of team building at Savannah’s beach, Tybee Island, which is just a short 20-minute drive away. Another plus is that many of Savannah’s accommodations also have pools for attendees to beat the heat of the summer sun and cool off during the downtime between meetings.

Head to one of Savannah’s beer breweries and take a tour of the facilities while learning about craft beer, or relax on a breezy rooftop bar along the riverside with a cocktail in hand and views that are grand.

Fall

September - December

While the beginning of fall can still feel like a warm summer’s day, the season soon brings a nice break from the heat with a coastal breeze and mild daytime temperatures in the 80s. As the sun sets, the cooler air will greet your group and provide the prime time for crisp outdoor tours, strolls through the squares and more.

As the waters cool in the Atlantic in the fall, oyster season is underway! The oysters are harvested from areas approved by the state and are perfectly safe and delectable for attendees to enjoy.

Come October, spooky season falls upon America's most haunted city. Groups can have an off-site scare on one of many ghost tours to see haunted sights or plan a spooktacular night out on a Haunted Pub Crawl.

Schedule your next meeting around one of the city’s top fall events.

Winter

December - February

When you plan a meeting during the winter in Savannah, you can expect brisk weather with temperatures in the 50s and 60s, rarely falling below freezing, paired with blue skies and the sun still shining above.

As one of Savannah’s quieter seasons, winter lets your attendees get a real feel for how the locals live. Plan an ice-skating outing for your group at the Savannah Civic Center, which turns its arena into a giant ice rink every year. Experience some of the city’s well-known events by attending one of the many winter festivals. Warm up with a cold beer at one of several breweries. Whatever you choose to do, Savannah offers a variety of winter activities for groups.

Plan your next meeting around the holidays and experience how Savannah celebrates this special time in the South. Check out some of the top spots with the most festive decor, and see an extravagant display of events, live performances and fireworks that lights up the river at the Savannah Christmas Market at Plant Riverside.
