How do I get to Savannah Jazz Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Savannah Jazz Festival. The nearest major airport is SAV, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
Savannah's Amtrak station (2611 Seaboard Coastline Drive) is a real intercity-rail option, roughly a 10-min drive from Forsyth Park itself (station is not connected to the airport).
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Taxi & rideshare
Uber and Lyft both operate at SAV with a dedicated pickup zone; taxis queue on the lower level outside baggage claim.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
Affiliate Flying in? You can book an airport transfer from SAV in advance rather than joining the taxi queue on arrival. Transfer links may earn Froligo a commission; they never change the price you pay.
🅿 Parking
Cost Free. Official Forsyth Park page: free street parking on all surrounding streets, plus a small free lot with restrooms on the park's east side near the Pavilion/Splash Pad. This lines up with the general Savannah rule that metered parking south of Gaston Street (which borders Forsyth Park's north end) runs free, meters elsewhere in the Historic District (further north, toward River St.) run $1.50-$2.50/hr via ParkMobile or the city's ParkSavannah system, enforced 8am-8pm Mon-Sat, free Sundays.

Airbnb & private camping
Savannah's Historic District, including the streets immediately around Forsyth Park, is a dense, active Airbnb/vacation-rental market (carriage houses, historic-home units).
Search AirbnbHipcamp lists private-land camping/glamping/RV options within driving range of Savannah (Lowcountry GA/SC coastal and inland sites) as an alternative to a downtown hotel for attendees who'd rather camp despite the festival itself offering none. Not evaluated for proximity/walkability to Forsyth Park; treat as a general regional option, likely a 20+ minute drive from downtown given the urban setting.

Accessibility & comfort
Checked savannahjazz.org on 3 Sep 2026: homepage, About, Festival, 2026 Festival Schedule, Forsyth Park Festival Guidelines and Extreme Weather, and Contact. There is no accessibility page anywhere on the site and no ADA, wheelchair, accessible parking, accessible toilet, accessible viewing, companion ticket, ASL or quiet space information, and no description of the ground surface at Forsyth Park. The guidelines page says lawn chairs, coolers and blankets are permitted and that tents and umbrellas are allowed at the park perimeter only. Two things worth flagging for planning: the festival is in Forsyth Park, a City of Savannah park, and if there is lightning or thunder the event relocates to an alternate venue, Trustees Theater at 216 E Broughton Street. The City of Savannah park page for Forsyth Park was unreachable from here on 3 Sep 2026, so it is worth a retry. Organiser contact for access questions is the Savannah Jazz office on 912-228-3158 or the form at https://savannahjazz.org/contact/; this is the general enquiries route, not an access specific one.
