Eastern Wharf will host a special July 4th celebration featuring a free community concert by Savannah’s favorite big band, the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra, on Saturday, July 4th from 6 to 10 p.m. at The Park at Eastern Wharf, the largest public green space on the Savannah River. The annual event in The Park at Eastern Wharf, which began in 2023, has become one of Savannah’s most beloved Independence Day celebrations.
The July 4th festivities will kick off at 6 p.m. with a “Summer of Soul” theme featuring curated house music by Savannah Stopover, followed by a special New Orleans style second-line parade, which will wind through The Park at Eastern Wharf and feature a brass band procession with the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra and other special guests. Attendees are encouraged to bring traditional parade props, including parasols, handkerchiefs and festive July 4th attire. Mardi Gras-style beads, doubloons and additional items will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The full Equinox Orchestra will take the stage at 7:30 p.m.
The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra is known for high-energy shows featuring great songs, original arrangements and impressive musicianship. Inspired by the style and swagger of legendary entertainers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., bandleaders Jeremy Davis and Clay Johnson bring a rich camaraderie and Southern charm to the stage. Audiences across America and around the world have fallen in love with the group’s interpretations of the Great American songbook and performances of favorite melodies from Motown, country, folk and rock genres, serving up a musical banquet that feeds every soul.
Following the concert, Savannah’s Waterfront will put on a dazzling fireworks show perfectly synched to patriotic tunes at approximately 9:30 p.m. The Savannah Riverwalk along The Park at Eastern Wharf offers prime views of the fireworks display.
General admission is free. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and small, personal coolers to enjoy the live music performance and festivities.
Limited VIP tickets are currently available on Eventbrite for $75, which include prime concert viewing as well as complimentary hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine and canned cocktails. 21 wristbands and ID are required for access to the VIP area.

SUMMER FREQUENCIES Where Sound and Summer Move in Rhythm
2026 Summer Exhibition at ARTSTRYNGS Gallery
Benefitting the Savannah Music Festival
Opening Reception: Friday, July 10th 6-8pm
Closing Reception: Friday, August 21st 6-8pm
Admission: Free
ARTSTRYNGS Gallery is pleased to present SUMMER FREQUENCIES, a vibrant group exhibition celebrating the intersection of music, movement, and the sensory spirit of summer. Opening July 10 and on view through August 21, 2026, the exhibition brings together a diverse collection of artists whose works explore the visual language of music through expressive brushwork, luminous color, texture, rhythm, and emotion.
Inspired by the energy of music and summertime nostalgia, SUMMER FREQUENCIES transforms the gallery into an immersive exhibition where viewers can experience sound as visual form. Across painting, collage, ceramics, mixed media, and furniture design, each work interprets a visual frequency—capturing vibrations carried through warm evening air, sun-soaked days, coastal breezes, joyful celebrations, and timeless seasonal memories.
Blending fine art with rhythm and emotion, the exhibition invites viewers to experience art as frequency: layered, immersive, and alive. Guests are encouraged to gaze across the canvases while listening to the silent yet audible, visual vibration of each work of art, told in paint strokes and rhythm—a highly curated exhibition where each piece embodies sound and the vibration of summer.
Featured Artists:
— Michelle Murphy’s lyrical paint strokes and melodic movement compose a visual symphony on canvas.
— Eric Woodell’s transcendental, vibrational collages produce visual auditory sound waves.
— Brian Gilbert’s rhythmic reverberations and vibrant graphic compositions create a visual soundtrack of summer vibes.
— Penelope Moore’s fluid, improvisational strokes crescendo in color and expression.
— Cora Ennis’ work expresses the staccato tempo of nature, told by the visual rhythm of leaves trembling and swaying in the coastal breeze.
— Mia Amanda’s ceramics pause childhood melodies into stillness, color and form.
— Jade Wells’ modern-retro chair encourages a down tempo chill while the colorful, tactile fabric and groovy design instigates movement and rhythm.
— Rena Southern’s enveloping prismatic and immersive color stories swell and pulse like the jubilance of an energetic brass band enticing the viewer to participate.
— Paul Billips’s mind-bending compositions of tiny percussive marks, orchestrate multidimensional visual soundscapes to enter up close.
— Jim Cone’s cubist renditions are a fusion of blues, jazz, and rock and roll, each rooted in soul and playful imagination that take the viewer on a journey into faceted visual ballads and folk narratives.
Each selected work resonates like a song—translating tempo, atmosphere, and sensation into visual form. From bold compositions to fluid gestures, SUMMER FREQUENCIES celebrates the connection between sound, movement, and the nostalgia of summer.
Art with Impact:
SUMMER FREQUENCIES is proud to support the Savannah Music Festival, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, with 10% of all exhibition art sales donated to the organization’s year-round music education and community outreach programs. Through initiatives like the SMF Jazz Academy, Musical Explorers, and free student access to performances, the Festival enriches the cultural fabric of Savannah while providing thousands of local students with transformative arts education opportunities at no cost.

This exhibition will mainly cover agricultural practices and beliefs in Burkina Faso and Mali, which are within the savanna and forest areas of the Western Sudan region (South Saharan). Most of these lands can be difficult to cultivate, to control, so the farmers in these regions have to continuously strike a bargain with the spirits of the uncultivated terrain. This happens through unique festivals, ceremonies, and agricultural societies, which will be the topic of this exhibition.
The wilderness is significant in many African cosmologies because it is the inverse of culture – so by describing its characteristics, the ideal characteristics of African society can be defined. Many communities are organized into three realms, the spiritual, the physical, and the in-between. The physical realm is the controllable realm – it is orderly, governed by laws, and includes cultivated fields and domesticated animals. The wilderness is beyond human control so it is unpredictable, potentially dangerous, but there are powers to be harnessed as it can also be a source of medicine, sustenance, and wisdom. This exhibition will present a brief overview of the beliefs associated with the wilderness and the agricultural practices that follow, to show how these concepts translated into social experiences and visible form through selected artifacts from the Savannah African Art Museum.

ABOUT FORT MCALLISTER STATE HISTORIC PARK:
Located close to I-95 south of Savannah on the banks of the Ogeechee River, this scenic park showcases the best-preserved earthwork fortification of the Confederacy. The earthworks were attacked seven times by Union ironclads but did not fall until 1864—ending General William T. Sherman’s “March to the Sea.” Visitors can explore the grounds with cannons, a hot shot furnace, bombproof barracks, palisades and more, while a Civil War museum contains artifacts, a video and gift shop.
Nestled among giant live oaks, Spanish moss and salt marsh, this park is a beautiful location for camping, fishing, boating and picnicking. Seven cabins sit on stilts near the marsh, surrounded by palm trees and palmettos. The shaded campground is bordered by tidal Redbird Creek, a boat ramp, fishing dock and nature trail. A large picnic area offers river views and playgrounds, while another boat ramp provides access to the Ogeechee River.

ABOUT FOR MORRIS HISTORIC SITE:
When the Continental Congress convened in 1776, the delegates recognized the importance of a fort to protect their growing seaport from the British. Soon afterwards, a low bluff on the Medway River at Sunbury was fortified and garrisoned by 200 patriots. When the British demanded the fort’s surrender on November 25, 1778, the defiant Col. John McIntosh replied, “Come and take it!” The British refused and withdrew back to Florida. Forty-five days later, they returned with a superior force, and on January 9, 1779, Fort Morris fell after a short but heavy bombardment.
Under the name of Fort Defiance, this bulwark was once again used against the British during the War of 1812, and Sunbury’s harbor was guarded by armed barges. Today, visitors can stand within the earthwork remains and view scenic Saint Catherines Sound. A museum and film describe the colonial port of Sunbury and the site’s history.
Visitors may borrow binoculars and a field guide to go birding. Downy woodpeckers, pileated woodpeckers, goldfinches, wood storks, painted buntings, great egrets and many other coastal species can be seen.
