Savannah Christmas Market + Night Out: The Perfect Holiday Pairing

Treat the market as the beginning, not the entire night

Plant Riverside District lists the 2026 Savannah Christmas Market from November 19 through January 3, with regular hours published as 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. That makes it especially easy to use the market as an afternoon or early-evening activity.

A strong sequence

Arrive at the market in late afternoon, walk the vendor area and lights, have dinner nearby, then shift into an adults-only night. If your travel dates fall Thursday through Sunday, Naughty or Nice is the easy anchor: $49, approximately two hours and hosted.

Why this pairing works

The market gives you visual holiday Savannah. The crawl gives you interaction, comedy and group energy. Together, they solve the two biggest problems in holiday-trip planning: what to do before dinner and what to do after it.

The next-day recovery plan

Skip a complicated morning. Choose coffee, Forsyth Park and a walk. If you still want structure, our daytime tour keeps the pace social rather than academic.

2026 date note

Visit Savannah also lists the Lighted Christmas Street Parade for December 12, 2026. If your trip overlaps that weekend, build extra walking time into your plans because riverfront and downtown activity will be heavier than normal.
