Savannah Craft on the River: October 30–November 1 Weekend Guide

Savannah Craft on the River is scheduled for October 30–November 1, 2026, at Rousakis Riverfront Plaza in Savannah, Georgia. The waterfront setting gives visitors a chance to browse original art and handmade work while meeting the people who make it. This is a three-day market, so check the daily schedule before choosing between a daytime browse and an evening visit.

What to expect

The organizer’s Zapplication event page describes an outdoor market focused on artists and craftspeople who create, design and produce what they sell. Walk the displays with an open mind: a small object, an unusual material or a conversation about how a piece was made can be as memorable as a major purchase. Ask before photographing artwork or handling a fragile piece.

Dates, location and hours

• Dates: October 30–November 1, 2026.
• Venue: Rousakis Riverfront Plaza, 23 E. River Street, Savannah, Georgia.

Plan your visit

River Street has cobblestones and changes in level. Choose comfortable footwear and confirm an accessible route if needed. Check current parking charges and ferry schedules before relying on them. This is an outdoor event, so check the forecast and bring suitable sun or rain protection. If you find a larger piece, discuss wrapping, shipping and collection arrangements with its maker before buying.

For participating artists

The Zapplication record marks the application deadline as passed. Artists should contact the event directly about any remaining availability and use its current load-in and booth instructions. Visitor hours and artist setup times serve different purposes; check the event record for the instructions that apply to you.
