Savannah Harbor Boat Parade of Lights

10Best Says

Kick off the beginning of the holiday season with more than a visit from Santa. General James Edward Oglethorpe (an actor in period costume, of course) initiates the lighting of the city tree and fires a canon to mark the start of a cruising parade of light-festooned yachts on the Savannah River. Fireworks wrap up a stellar evening that can be viewed from the Westin or from points across the river.
