For me, SHOPPING is always part of my vacation planning! The Savannah Gathering will be no exception. Hope this is helpful to the other shoppers attending…just to get you started!
River Street:
A major part of Savannah’s tourist scene, this restored waterfront features shops all along its length from the landmark smokestacks of an old power plant on the west, to the Waving Girl Statue on the east. Factor’s Walk, which parallels River Street halfway up the bluff, also features scattered shops.

Broughton Street:
This was like an old “Main Street” of shopping before the strip malls took over with supersized chain stores. It has made a comeback with a few upscale offerings. One section of the Historic Downtown area, at the intersection of Jones and Whitaker Streets, specialize in the arts and home décor. They call themselves the “Downtown Design District”. Antiques stores can be found in this area as well.
