Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025

The Savannah Downtown Business Association (SDBA) has launched ShopDowntownSavannah.com, a new online hub designed by Jacob Archer Studios where downtown businesses can upload holiday offers, Small Business Saturday deals, and festive experiences. The site allows participating businesses to showcase seasonal promotions while giving shoppers an easy way to explore savings throughout the holiday season.

Holiday parking deals from the City of Savannah Mobility & Parking Services are also in effect, making it even easier to shop, dine, and celebrate downtown. Shoppers can enjoy free parking in all City-owned garages every Tuesday and Wednesday from December 2–24 between 12–8 p.m., as well as all-day free parking on Black Friday (Nov. 28), Small Business Saturday (Nov. 29), Christmas Day (Dec. 25), and New Year’s Day (Jan. 1). Normal hours and rates apply outside of these promotional times.

The city is also celebrating the return of Savannah Holly Days, offering a festive lineup of downtown events, from the waterfront Christmas Market to the annual lighting of the Broughton Street Christmas Tree. Businesses are encouraged to join in the seasonal spirit by participating in the Christmas on Broughton storefront decorating contest, which features a $1,000 prize sponsored by Hearse Ghost Tours.
