Pandemic or no pandemic, Savannah is now kicking off its bustling spring season of festivals.
While we are obviously missing out on vital opportunities to gather as a community and get to know more of our neighbors in face-to-face settings, the altered schedules present some opportunities that might benefit local culture in the long run.
The 32nd annual festival’s emphasis on virtual rather than live events has prompted a significant website upgrade and plans for high quality video streaming. Highlights will likely include a gospel concert featuring Demetrius West on Feb. 7 and the Future of Jazz Concert along with a tribute to the late Ben Tucker on Feb. 16.
