Indigenous food has always been at the table even when it wasn’t recognized as such. Join us at Coastal Table and Tales for an evening with Chef Crystal Wahpepah, founder of Wahpepah’s Kitchen in Oakland, the first Indigenous woman to own a restaurant in Northern California, a James Beard Award finalist, and the first Indigenous chef to appear on Food Network’s Chopped.
Chef Wahpepah will prepare two dishes rooted in generations of Kickapoo foodways: Kickapoo Chili and Sweetblue Cornbread. Dishes that carry her heritage forward, on their own terms.
During the demonstration, Chef Wahpepah,will be in conversation with her co-author, Amy Paige Condon, about her cookbook, her heritage food, and what it means to reclaim recognition at the table. The evening will also open up discussion on:
The long, often unrecognized presence of Indigenous cuisine in American food culture
The role of land acknowledgment in modern cooking
How Native ingredients are finding their way back into everyday kitchens
Chef Wahpepah’s path from home cook to James Beard finalist and culinary ambassador
Come hungry, come curious, and leave with a signed copy of the book and a deeper appreciation for the food heritage that’s always belonged at the table.

The Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society will host its 21st Annual Buddy Walk on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, in Forsyth Park. Opening ceremonies begin at 10 a.m., followed by the one-mile walk at 10:30 a.m., with family-friendly activities continuing until 2 p.m.
The Buddy Walk, held each October during National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, celebrates the abilities and achievements of individuals with Down syndrome while raising critical funds for local programs. This year’s event will feature speakers, self-advocates, live music and cheering from SCAD athletic teams.
Proceeds support LDSS programs including Camp Buddy, a summer program in Effingham and Chatham counties designed to help students retain academic and social skills over summer break. Funds also underwrite family support meetings, new parent packets and educational opportunities for families and advocates across the region.
“This event is all about coming together as a community to support and celebrate individuals with Down syndrome,” said Candy Bogardus, LDSS president. “Every step we take at the Buddy Walk makes a real difference in the lives of families across our region. We encourage everyone to come out, participate and help us continue our mission.”
The first Savannah Buddy Walk was held in 2006, shortly after LDSS was founded, and attendance grew to more than 5,000 people annually before the pandemic. This year marks the 21st iteration of the event.
Community members can participate by joining a team, registering as an individual walker, creating a team, sponsoring the event or making a donation. Businesses and organizations serving people with different abilities are invited to reserve an information booth. Volunteer opportunities are also available.
For more information and to register, visit ldssga.org or contact Candy Bogardus at ldssgabuddywalk@gmail.com.

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.

Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum—an acclaimed museum in Savannah, Ga. dedicated to celebrating and preserving America’s maritime legacy—is delighted to present “Drawn to the Sea: Maritime Stories From Savannah,” an exciting new sequential art exhibition and comic book featuring nautical-inspired, mixed-media art by four contemporary artists. The exhibit will run through January 31, 2027, showcasing original art designed to interpret the historic voyages of the iconic Savannah ships Anne, SS Savannah, Pulaski and Wanderer.
Featured “Drawn to the Sea” artists include Lucy Bellwood, Avery Hick, Rich King and Sharon Norwood.
Lucy Bellwood, a professional adventure cartoonist based in Ojai, Calif., focuses on the Anne, the legendary vessel that carried James Edward Oglethorpe and the first group of English colonists to Georgia in 1733.
Avery Hick, a SCAD graduate and Level Ground Comics Executive Editor, explores life aboard the SS Savannah, the first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean, marking a bold turning point in maritime history.
Rich King—who has published five books about the ocean, including Ahab’s Rolling Sea: A Natural History of Moby-Dick, Ocean Bestiary and Sailing Alone—drew inspiration from the Pulaski, a luxury steamship that suffered a catastrophic boiler explosion off the coast of North Carolina in 1838, killing approximately 130 people. He is an accomplished author and illustrator who is based in Santa Cruz, Calif.
Sharon Norwood, a Jamaican-born interdisciplinary artist who lives in Savannah, Ga., takes a deep dive into life aboard the Wanderer, one of the last ships to illegally transport enslaved Africans to the United States. In 1858, more than 50 years after the transatlantic slave trade had been outlawed, the vessel secretly carried more than 400 captive Africans across the Atlantic, landing near the coast of Georgia and sparking international outrage.
In addition to the exhibition, there is a special “Drawn to the Sea” comic book available for purchase at the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum Gift Shop. The comic book was designed and published by Lee Heidel, owner and managing partner of Neighborhood Comics in Savannah, and Tania June Sammons, curator at Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.
Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last admission at 4:30 p.m.). Tickets are $17.50 for adults; $14.50 for students, seniors 65 , active-duty military and veterans; and free for children ages 5 and under. Discounted family and group tickets are also available. Additional information is available at shipsofthesea.org.

Robin Williams and David Gobel talk on their book “Learning From Savannah.”
Learning from Savannah bridges the mostly separate worlds of the history of Savannah’s famed urban plan and the history of the city’s architecture. The authors analyze the history of the urban plan, how it functions, and how it has shaped the city’s buildings in distinctive ways. Distilling over two decades of original research on the history of Savannah’s built environment, as well as the daily experience of it, Gobel and Williams uncover the complex and illusive qualities that have enthralled visitors since the nineteenth century and architects and planners since the mid-twentieth. The book includes many previously unpublished historic maps and images, as well as numerous original analytical diagrams that interpret the city in fresh ways.
DAVID W. GOBEL is professor of architectural history at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where he has taught since 1996. He has published articles in a variety of architectural and urban-planning journals, and he is one of four coauthors of the award-winning SAH Buildings of Savannah guidebook. He lives in Savannah, Georgia.
ROBIN B. WILLIAMS has taught at the Savannah College of Art and Design since 1993, chairing Architectural History since the founding of the department in 1996. He is the lead author of the guidebook Buildings of Savannah, which won the Best Guidebook Award from SESAH in 2018. He currently lives in Savannah, Georgia.

The Way You Make Me Feel reimagines the timeless songs of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 through the lens of contemporary jazz, soul, and R&B—blending rich improvisation with unmistakable melodies that span generations.
Featuring renowned vocalist Niki Haris, celebrated for her two decades as the powerhouse voice behind Madonna, this dynamic performance brings both star power and deep musicality to the stage.

From the infectious energy of Jackson 5 classics to the global anthems of Michael Jackson’s solo career, each piece is reimagined with nuance, spontaneity, and soul.

Indigenous food has always been at the table even when it wasn’t recognized as such. Join us at Coastal Table and Tales for an evening with Chef Crystal Wahpepah, founder of Wahpepah’s Kitchen in Oakland, the first Indigenous woman to own a restaurant in Northern California, a James Beard Award finalist, and the first Indigenous chef to appear on Food Network’s Chopped.
Chef Wahpepah will prepare two dishes rooted in generations of Kickapoo foodways: Kickapoo Chili and Sweetblue Cornbread. Dishes that carry her heritage forward, on their own terms.
During the demonstration, Chef Wahpepah,will be in conversation with her co-author, Amy Paige Condon, about her cookbook, her heritage food, and what it means to reclaim recognition at the table. The evening will also open up discussion on:
The long, often unrecognized presence of Indigenous cuisine in American food culture
The role of land acknowledgment in modern cooking
How Native ingredients are finding their way back into everyday kitchens
Chef Wahpepah’s path from home cook to James Beard finalist and culinary ambassador
Come hungry, come curious, and leave with a signed copy of the book and a deeper appreciation for the food heritage that’s always belonged at the table.

Historic Savannah Foundation and the Davenport House Museum will present a special Mid-Autumn Festival Family Day in conjunction with the Savannah Chinese Association on Sun., Sept. 13 from 11 a.m.
Historic Savannah Foundation and the Davenport House Museum will present a special Mid-Autumn Festival Family Day in conjunction with the Savannah Chinese Association on Sun., Sept. 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This free, family-friendly event will be filled with hands-on activities, cultural performances, refreshments and fun for all ages.
One of the most important holidays in many East Asian and Southeast Asian cultures, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the harvest, family reunions and the full moon, serving as a time for gathering together to share food and give thanks. The celebration will also include the opening of the Savannah Chinese Association’s new photography exhibition, “Charming Savannah Seen Through Chinese Eyes” at 12:30 p.m.
The Mid-Autumn Festival Family Day also honors an important chapter in the Davenport House Museum’s own history. From 1901 to 1902, a portion of the home was occupied by the Chan family, one of Savannah’s earliest Chinese-American families. Through a special partnership with the Savannah Chinese Association, guests are invited to connect with the museum’s past while celebrating a living cultural tradition.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the return of the museum’s acclaimed exhibition, “Old Chan Magic: Chinese Roots, Southern Branches,” which shares the story of the Chan family and Savannah’s early Chinese community.
The Mid-Autumn Festival Family Day is free and open to the public thanks to generous support from the City of Savannah.

The Buddy Walk, held each October during National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, celebrates the abilities and achievements of individuals with Down syndrome while raising critical funds for local programs. This year’s event will feature speakers, self-advocates, live music and cheering from SCAD athletic teams.
Proceeds support LDSS programs including Camp Buddy, a summer program in Effingham and Chatham counties designed to help students retain academic and social skills over summer break. Funds also underwrite family support meetings, new parent packets and educational opportunities for families and advocates across the region.
“This event is all about coming together as a community to support and celebrate individuals with Down syndrome,” said Candy Bogardus, LDSS president. “Every step we take at the Buddy Walk makes a real difference in the lives of families across our region. We encourage everyone to come out, participate and help us continue our mission.”
The first Savannah Buddy Walk was held in 2006, shortly after LDSS was founded, and attendance grew to more than 5,000 people annually before the pandemic. This year marks the 21st iteration of the event.
Community members can participate by joining a team, registering as an individual walker, creating a team, sponsoring the event or making a donation. Businesses and organizations serving people with different abilities are invited to reserve an information booth. Volunteer opportunities are also available.
