Peace in the Park

The Mediation Center of the Coastal Empire – Savannah’s leading organization dedicated to helping citizens proactively manage conflict and creating a more conflict-resilient community – is delighted to host the 2025 Peace in the Park celebration on Sunday, Sept. 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Daffin Park. This fourth annual event, which is free and open to the public, will offer opportunities for community members to support peace, counter violence and celebrate unity.

Designed to coincide with International Day of Peace, Peace in the Park is the result of powerful local community collaborations and a shared vision: to build a more compassionate, connected and conflict-resilient Savannah. This uplifting afternoon will offer something for everyone, including live music, free face painting, Courageous Conversation Circles that spark deeper dialogue, a Youth Artists Corner, a wellness area focused on mental health and more. Food trucks will be on-site throughout the afternoon, including The Cone Ranger, Latin Chicks, Naked Dog, 520 Wings, Ark Royale Burgers and Molly’s Fish and Chips.

The Mediation Center will present the 2025 Peacebuilder Awards, which honor and recognize local peacebuilders, at 3 p.m. followed by a Peace Walk and human peace sign formation.
