Davenport House Museum Fall Arts Festival

The Davenport House - an iconic c. 1820 historic house museum owned and operated by Historic Savannah Foundation - will host the second annual Davenport House Museum Fall Arts Festival, a vibrant celebration of more than two centuries of creativity, preservation and community, on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This family-friendly event is free and open to the public and will take place at the Davenport House Museum and garden, located at 323 E. Broughton St. in Savannah, Ga., as well as in the Historic Kennedy Pharmacy and Columbia Square.

Davenport House Museum Fall Arts Festival highlights include an artisan vendor fair; hands-on art activities led by Rebecca Braziel and Salacia Salts; and a collaborative community art project led by Calvin Thomas that will invite participants of all ages to contribute to a shared work of art. Live music will be provided by Susanna Kennedy, Cory Chambers, Hollee Spring, and Michael Carp. On-site food vendors will include Pour Boy Mobile Barista and Nieve with Love Handcrafted Frozen Desserts. Additional vendors and activities will be announced closer to the program date.

In addition, the award-winning Davenport House Museum will be open for exploration, free of charge, and will offer special opportunities and interactive activities designed to connect the house's history with Savannah's arts community.

The Davenport House Museum Fall Arts Festival is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Garbutt Construction, a local construction company that is currently completing the Davenport House's first major exterior restoration since 1993.
