As I sit behind my makeshift desk in the Olde Landmark Building drafting this post, it fully occurs to me that we’re two weeks to the day from the kick-off concert in the Starland District for the 2011 Savannah Stopover Music Festival. I’ll be the first to admit that we had no idea how big this could get, as the first iteration of the Stopover saw us hosting 10-15 bands. Today’s line-up boasts 52 acts and more than 80 performances (including day shows).

Join the Savannah Garden Club between 3pm and 5pm to enjoy music, tea & sherry, Victorian sandwiches and other treats—all served in a historic Savannah residence, by Garden Club members in authentic Victorian dresses.

Tickets $20
