During Savannah’s winter season, some days you’re wearing t-shirts, while others you’re bundled in layers of warm clothing. Winter is also a quieter season, so Savannah’s visitors can really get a glimpse of how the locals live. Here’s why we think you should visit Savannah during the winter!
Winter Races:
For marathon athletes and regular runners alike, Savannah’s events combine brisk winter weather with our beautiful sights and squares. Run along gorgeous courses that wind through our historic streets as well as Forsyth and Daffin Parks. Some races include the Savannah Bridge Run and the Critz Run Fest.
Ice Skating:
The epitome of winter activities is ice skating, and just because Savannah happens to be located in the South (and near the ocean) doesn’t mean visitors can’t enjoy the simple pleasure of an afternoon on the ice. Each year, Savannah’s Civic Center turns their arena into a giant ice rink! Whether you’re a professional skater or a tad wobbly in skates, you’re bound to have fun with family and friends.
Watch a Regional Hockey Classic:
Every January, the Civic Center also hosts the Savannah Tire Hockey Classic. Hockey enthusiasts and visitors looking for an evening of sports can watch regional rivals compete for two nights!
