It’s hard not to fall in love with the town lovingly nicknamed “The Hostess of the South.” Every year, once the scorching hot summer comes to a close, Forsythe Park, nestled in the center of Savannah’s historic district, is home to one of Savannah’s most beloved outdoor events.
Even though you will see picnic tables filled with the usual Southern fare at Picnic in the Park, it’s not uncommon to see spreads complete with candelabras and fine china laid out. Each year the event has a different theme, and picnickers are encouraged to compete in the annual picnic contest by decorating their tables with elaborate designs, dressing up in costumes, and creating a menu based on the theme. Strolling around the thirty-acre park to see the unique spreads is all part of the Picnic in the Park experience.
