- Many Savannahians dress in colonial costume for the annual Georgia Day (February 12) festivities. Many activities are designed to educate children about the area's cultural heritage.
Photograph of children dressed in colonial costume for the annual Georgia Day parade, which takes place on February 12 each year in Savannah, Georgia. A young boy wearing a suit and tri-cornered hat holds the hand of a young girl wearing a bonnet and shawl. Many children can be seen in the background.
During this event thousands of schoolchildren learn about the significance of the city's cultural heritage through costumed colonial characters, town meetings, and parades. The Georgia Heritage Celebration continues as an annual event, coordinated since 1997 by the Georgia Historical Society. - Metadata URL:
