City Unveils New Challenge for Savannah 912 Day
SAVANNAH – The City of Savannah is excited to introduce the 9 Days of 912 Challenge, leading up to Savannah Day, affectionally known as 912 Day, on Sept. 12.
Running from Sept. 4 to Sept. 12, this citywide scavenger hunt invites residents and visitors to explore Savannah’s landmarks while competing for daily prizes and a grand prize.
This year’s celebration, in partnership with Visit Savannah, aims to build community connection and highlight Savannah’s unique character. The new Savannah 912 Day logo reflects the city’s dedication to celebrating its cultural heritage and notable cityscapes, with a nod to Savannah’s area code, 912.
Participants in the scavenger hunt will uncover hidden gems across Savannah, each offering clues and special rewards. This interactive experience is designed to strengthen community bonds, support local businesses, and showcase Savannah’s exceptional charm.
The 9 Days of 912 Challenge will culminate on Thursday, Sept. 12, with a celebration at the Chamber of Commerce Business Expo and Business Connection. This event will be held at Kehoe Ironworks from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring music and games.
In 2021, Mayor Van R. Johnson, II officially proclaimed Sept. 12 as “Savannah Day” establishing a citywide celebration championing local pride and civic unity.
Media partners and residents are encouraged to share their celebrations using the hashtags #912Day, #Savannah912Day, #SavannahStrong, and #SAV912Day.
