While you might be tempted to head to a major city to celebrate July 4th with an epic fireworks display, you shouldn’t rule out some of America’s smaller towns. Take Savannah, Georgia for example. Things might be a bit slower in this southern town, but the vibe is relaxed, this history is fascinating, and the food is unmistakably delicious. What more could you want from your holiday?
Savannah is a beautiful destination any time of year, but there’s something about summertime that brings out the best of this colorful destination.

Fourth of July is bound to be a busy time for Savannah, but you won’t find the crowds that you will in the nation’s larger cities. Instead, opt for a stroll around the famous Forsyth Park and admire live oak trees that are over a century old.

Top it all off with a classic southern meal of fried chicken and mac & cheese or something freshly caught and you’ll be in heaven.
