What to Wear in Savannah This Fall: Copper Penny Outfit Inspo for Every Event

Savannah in the fall is pure magic—live music in the park, film stars on red carpets, cozy Oktoberfest vibes, and even ghostly adventures after dark. The city comes alive with festivals and celebrations, and Copper Penny has the perfect looks to keep you chic, comfy, and event-ready. Here’s your guide to what’s happening and what to wear this season.

Savannah Jazz Festival – September 19th-21st

A free week-long celebration of jazz featuring local, national, and international musicians, with a grand finale in Forsyth Park. Perfect for a picnic and a night under the stars. 

Our perfect outfit would be a flowy printed midi dress (like THML or Walker & Wade) with a denim jacket and sandals or boots. Add a wide-brim hat for that effortless Savannah vibe.

Oktoberfest at Plant Riverside – October Weekends

Pretzels, bratwursts, beer steins, and live German music take over the Plant Riverside District for a lively riverside celebration.

Our perfect outfit would be a cozy  Bella Dahl pullover sweater with straight-leg jeans and booties. Top it off with gold hoops for a chic but festive touch.

Savannah Bananas World Tour Championship – October 2–4, 2025

The Bananas wrap up their season with their over-the-top Banana Ball championship—equal parts baseball and comedy show.

Our perfect look would be a Seamed Wedge tee tucked into high-rise denim or straight-leg pants, plus sneakers. Layer with a lightweight jacket for evening games.

Savannah Greek Festival – October 9–11, 2025

The 74th annual festival brings delicious Greek food, dancing, music, and cultural performances to the historic Hellenic Center.

Our perfect look would be a sleeveless mock neck dress in darker tones with comfy sandals or wedges. Add a crossbody bag for hands-free souvlaki sampling.

SCAD Savannah Film Festival – October 25 – November 1, 2025

One of the largest university-run film festivals in the country, featuring screenings, panels, celebrity appearances, and red carpet moments.

Our perfect look would be a sleek  Hazel Dress from Willa Story with heeled boots and layered jewelry. Polished, chic, and artsy without being over-the-top.

Autumn Gardenfest – October

A seasonal celebration at the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens with garden tours, fall blooms, and family-friendly fun.

Our perfect look would be a fun fit and flare maxi dress with boots, layered gold jewelry, and a cozy scarf for a chic, earthy look that photographs beautifully.

Ghost & Gravestones Trolley Tour – All October Long

A spooky guided trolley ride through Savannah’s haunted history—cemeteries, ghost stories, and eerie mansions included.

Our perfect look would be an all-black ensemble—think fitted mini dress and a leather jacket. Add bold earrings for that “spooky chic” edge.
