Good morning, Savannah.

Savannah restaurants celebrate Vidalia onion season with special dishes during Champagne of Onions Restaurant Week, which runs for three days—showcasing local chefs’ creativity and support for ending hunger.

The event supports Shuman Farms’ Healthy Family Project by donating proceeds to food banks like Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia.

Blue Heron Farm was founded by Bo Ballance in a repurposed Clydesdale stable behind the Savannah-Chatham County Public School Complex in Garden City, where the farm grows mushrooms like oyster, reishi, cordyceps, chanterelles, and hedgehogs and produces fruits and vegetables.

Funding cuts from the Inflation Reduction Act have strained operations — Ballance said he is urging locals to support small farms at markets — as the team builds partnerships with Savannah restaurants.

Today, Savannah’s Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum hosts 'Night at the Museum' to mark National Maritime Day with the relaunch of the Sea of Ink: Savannah Maritime Tattoos exhibit and a guided tour where glowing ship models light the way.

Airport officials at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport warn travelers to expect long lines and heavy traffic this Memorial Day weekend as millions plan to fly and drive.

They recommend leaving early — following TSA guidelines for quick screening — and using new parking lots to ease congestion.

Savannah’s city council approved an $8 million contract to remediate toxic soil and build a new parking lot at Enmarket Arena—members said work will start in June and finish by December after a 6-3 vote following weeks of debate.

This decision meets legal obligations outlined in the city’s lease and environmental agreements with state and federal agencies.

City council approved a contract with Landmark Preservation to restore the Forsyth Park fountain at a cost not to exceed $650,000, and the work will disassemble, recast + repair the fountain before reassembling it by August 31st.
