13th Annual Savannah Asian Festival, June 7th
The sights and sounds, the scents and tastes of Asia soar the senses to an exotic realm of delight at the annual Savannah Asian Festival.
We first experienced this wondrous event back in 1996, when it was a small festival, shy in its introduction to Asian Culture..... and absolutely mesmerizing.
Since then the festival has grown each year, drawing ever more participants from countries large and small of the Far East. A cultural and gastronomic tour of an entire continent awaits visitors to this lavish 13th annual event.

A catchy, Caribbean-flavored version of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, “The Little Mermaid,” with music by the Tony® Award-winning songwriting team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. This upbeat musical captures the imagination with tender ballads and colorful dance numbers as it tells the courageous story of the power of love.

August 15 – September 26
Succession: Works by Curtis Bartone
Presented by the City of Savannah’s Department of Cultural Affairs
At Gallery S.P.A.C.E., 9 West Henry Street
Bartone's paintings, drawings, and etchings focus on the uneasy relationship between human beings and the natural world. The work explores the idea of “wilderness” and how it has changed from being a real place--a place mysterious, unknown, and pristine--to being a memory--one that is longed for, romanticized, mourned and desperately reconstructed.
Opening Reception: Aug. 15, 6 - 8 p.m.
Free and open to the public.
