Savannah already does Christmas beautifully. We added a professional drag queen, downtown nightlife and just enough bad behavior to make the evening memorable.
Join Naughty or Nice, Savannah Shenanigans' two-hour Christmas Drag Queen Bar Crawl, hosted from start to finish by a queen who keeps the group laughing, moving and celebrating.
This is the holiday version of the Savannah Shenanigans experience: part bar crawl, part comedy show, part Christmas party and part Savannah story night. Your queen stays with the group from start to finish.
Exact bars can change with crowds, special events and venue conditions. The experience stays hosted and nightlife-first.
We are keeping this page grounded in Savannah rather than filling it with generic holiday stock. These are photos already in our Savannah Shenanigans media library.
