The Isle of Hope Arts & Music Festival has been running in different iterations since 2000, but this marks the fifth year since the mantle was picked up by co-chairs Erica Wilson and Tiffany Alewine, who helped revive the event after a hiatus and shaped it into one the most popular festivals in Savannah.

The annual event drew more than 8,500 attendees last year and promises to be even bigger this year, with 125 artists and vendors, 16 food trucks, and enough live music on offer this year to cover two stages. Find out more about why this year’s festival on Oct. 24 is so special. Read more here: https://savannahmagazine.com/culture/isle-of-hope-arts-music-festival-continues-to-flourish/

Across Savannah, happy hour has become more than discounted drinks — it’s a ritual: a chance to reconnect after work, linger over shared plates, and settle into places that feel familiar. Whether it’s live music, handcrafted cocktails, or simply being greeted by name, some of this year’s Best of Savannah honorees prove the best happy hours are built on something that can’t be listed on a menu. Find out what makes these locales the best. Read more here: https://savannahmagazine.com/taste/savannahs-happy-hour-hot-spots/

Welcome to Fall HOMES! Hitting newsstands now, or tap the shopping icon to buy.

Fall marks the start of the holiday entertaining season. And with higher restaurant prices, tighter budgets, and a desire for more meaningful connection, relaxed yet elevated dinner parties are back in fashion, especially among Gen Z and Millennials.

In this issue, you’ll find some lovely home accessories that make entertaining family and friends even more special. From copper bowls and honey-hued candles to pewter sauce bowls and vintage plates, local shops hand-picked some fall-inspired items just for you!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Savannah HOMES magazine without some incredible home tours.

First, learn how an Eastern Wharf townhome brought interior designer Arlen Sam Brown back together with longtime clients to work on their fifth project together. Next, step inside a historic Jones Street home, where designer Hayley Odom cleverly added storage without sacrificing the details that make the 1853-built home special. (Its elegant geometric backyard garden is showcased on the cover!) Lastly, we feature a sweet Baldwin Park home that got much-needed love from Scally Design + Construct.

ALSO IN THIS ISSUE: Local real estate agents explain the complexities of Savannah’s current market; Guerry Lumber president Will Wheat balances the company’s 100-year legacy and its future; and carpet is making a comeback. Really.

PLUS: It’s time to vote for Best of HOMES 2027! Find your paper ballot inside or vote online here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/bestofhomes2027. And check out Real People of Real Estate, a special advertising section highlighting local professionals.

When designer Sara Alvarez of Studio Álvarez Interiors first stepped inside this 1915 Mission Revival-style residence in Savannah’s Thomas Square neighborhood, she saw beyond its years of neglect. Cracked ceilings, peeling wallpaper, stained carpet, and even lingering odors couldn’t mask what she recognized in front of her: a home with remarkable architectural bones and an opportunity unlike she’d had before.

Working alongside homeowners and developers José Diaz and Peter Roessler, as well as the Georgia Historical Society and Ethos Preservation, Alvarez embarked on a challenging eight-month renovation project that would ultimately become known as “House of Moss.” Rather than reconstruct a traditional Southern home, they set out to capture something a little more elusive: the feeling of Savannah itself.

Built, not bought. Most brokerages run on software someone sold them. Savannah's Seaport Real Estate Group decided to build its own.

Seaport Sync is a transaction platform and mobile app designed and built entirely in-house. It tracks every deal from listing to closing, flags what needs attention before it becomes a problem, and keeps clients updated from contract to closing.

The idea came from years of frustration with outside vendors, none of which caught what fell through the cracks. So Seaport stopped waiting and built it.

"Time management is one of the biggest challenges that all busy real estate agents face. SeaportSync allows me to manage transactions on the go, which frees me up for more time with my clients. It is a real game changer!" — Whitney Butler, REALTOR®

SeaportSync is live now, and it's available only to Seaport agents.

Known for her exquisite taste, Tara Skinner has been behind some of the most spectacular weddings, charity galas, and other luxurious affairs in Savannah and beyond. She is the owner of Tara Skinner Weddings & Events, and the dreamy, floral-forward celebrations she and her team produce have been featured in the likes of Vogue.

“I’ve always loved entertaining, decorating, and creating beautiful experiences for people,” says Skinner. “It started at a very early age — I can remember decorating my Barbie dollhouses and setting their tables for parties, so apparently, I was planning events long before I knew it could be a career.”
