SAVANNAH – On Friday, Dec. 19, beginning at 9:30 a.m., the City of Savannah will host a festive community celebration to mark the long-awaited reactivation of the historic Forsyth Park Fountain—one of Savannah’s most iconic and cherished landmarks.
Mayor Van R. Johnson II, members of Savannah City Council, and City Manager Jay Melder will join Team Savannah and community members at the fountain for a brief program honoring its historic importance, its role as a gathering place for generations, and the City’s commitment to preserving this beloved symbol of Savannah.
