We hear it every year — “Mother’s get all the attention and dad’s get no love.” “Everybody forgets about Father’s Day.” “We go all out for moms and all we get is a pair of socks and a tie.” We hear you dads, so this year we are creating a gift guide that’s all about the fathers. Consider this a Father’s Day gift from Savannah City Market to all of you!

Food: It’s been said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. If this is the case with your dad, then treat him to some of the best seafood and steaks in town. Belford’s Savannah has weekly specials as well as staple menu items that has earned Belford’s recognition as one of the best restaurants in The Hostess City. But, if you want to keep it simple, head over to Vinnie Van GoGo’s for the best pizza in town (Yes, you can get a beer with that!).

Cigars: When it comes to buying cigars, you don’t want to skip out on quality or selection. You’re in luck because Savannah Cigars offers both quantity and quality. Stop in for cigars, smoking accessories, e-cigarettes, pipes, and more.

Beverages: The Georgia Tasting Room is more than wine. Get locally sourced craft beers, mead, moonshine, and more.

Sweets: What better way to show your dad that you care than a box filled with gourmet sweets? Savannah’s Candy Kitchen has everything from pralines to peanut brittle in tins and towers. Candy-loaded boxes are definitely better than another tie.

Art: No matter what type of art your dad likes, there is something for every style and budget in Savannah City Market. You’ll find everything from abstract art to street art to fine art. Our artists can create something your dad will remember. Take a look at the gallery list or visit the Art Center to find the right one.

Adventure: Imagine how much fun it would be to explore 6,000 square feet filled with galleries, exhibits, vintage cars, a functioning speakeasy, and more dedicated to all things alcohol. Treat your dad to a great time learning about prohibition at The American Prohibition Museum. It’s not your typical dry museum, but if dad would rather skip the learning and get straight to the drinking, head straight to the speakeasy upstairs. You can also purchase tickets to a cocktail class at Congress Street Up where certified bartenders will teach him how to make classic cocktails. Classes are held every Monday at 6:30 p.m. but limited space is available. Buy online and save even more.

When you’re done with City Market fun, keep the party going in our courtyard to enjoy live music and good company. Check out the music schedule then make plans to give your dad something special this Father’s Day.

Every May, we celebrate the mothers in our lives for all of the love, support, and guidance they give. While celebrating our mothers come easy, sometimes finding the perfect gift is a struggle. This year, you don’t have to worry about any of that. At Savannah City Market, we are a one-stop shop for unique and meaningful gifts no matter the occasion. This month, we’re focusing on gifts for all the moms. Take a look at some of our vendors’ favorite items.

Fashion Forward Mom: There are a few boutiques in Savannah City Market with many choices. Choose one or all – Silver Silk & Beads, Twinkle, Bohemian Relics & Body Works, or Cinnamon Bear Country Store.

Foodie Mom: From an award-winning steak-and-seafood house to a British-style bakery, Savannah City Market is filled with charming food spots to treat your mom. Buy a gift card or choose a day to sit (indoors and out) as you treat mom.

History Buff Mom: The American Prohibition Museum is an excellent experience that encompasses nearly 6,000 square feet, 13 galleries,4 different vintage cars, a functioning speakeasy, a theater, and more. Purchase tickets to the American Prohibition Museum for a better understanding of one of the most controversial and influential periods in American history – and have a great time doing it.

Happy Hour Mom: Purchase tickets to a cocktail class at Congress Street Up where certified bartenders will teach your mom how to make classic cocktails while discovering the history behind them. Classes are held every Monday at 6:30 p.m. but limited space is available. Buy online and save even more.

Jewelry Loving Mom: The Golden Realm specializes in rare jewelry and antiques. This shopping experience will be a delight as you find something unique for mom!

Pet Loving Mom: Woof Gang Bakery at Home features a variety of pet-themed home decor, accessories, apparel, gifts, and more. From tea towels to dog houses and everything in between, Woof Gang Bakery at Home is a unique shopping experience with eclectic household items and gifts for pet lovers.

Shoe Fanatic Mom: From cobblestones to cocktails, Charleston Shoe Company has something to make your mom feel cute and comfy. Take a look at the Mother’s Day Must-Haves Collection to find the perfect pair.

Sweet Tooth Mom: Get mom the best candy and treats money can buy at Savannah’s Candy Kitchen. Don’t forget about delicious cookies and decor from Byrd’s Cookie Company.

Wine Connoisseur Mom: The Georgia Tasting Room has a collection of 60+ local and regional wines all available for tasting and purchase. For as low as $3, you can taste before you buy. That’s a gift for you and mom!

You can’t go wrong with any vendor on this list but if your mom doesn’t want material things, then give her the gift of quality time. Come hang out in the courtyard to enjoy live music and good company. We can’t wait to see all the happy moms with their Savannah City Market gifts. Share what you choose by tagging us or adding #SavCityMarket.

We love seeing friendly faces in Savannah City Market, but our four-legged visitors have a special place in our hearts. Here are the 4 things you must do when bringing your pet to Savannah City Market:

Stop in any day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. You and your pet will leave happy!

2. With more than a dozen art studios in Savannah City Market, wandering through the galleries is excellent exercise for you and your pal. While you’re at it, get a custom painting of your pet or buy some art that reminds you of your time in Savannah. Our artists will make sure it’s something you will never forget.

3. Our courtyard is always open with a bench waiting for you and your pet. Take a break from shopping, enjoy a snack, or listen to live music. If you want to let your furry friend run around or get a drink of water, Ellis Square is nestled next to the City Market area and has plenty of room too.

4. Looking for a good meal and don’t know what to do with your pet? No worries! Several of our restaurants offer patio dining and pets are welcome. Grab a seat and get something to eat before your next adventure begins exploring Savannah.
