From my buddies at Captain Derek’s. Y’all go watch some dolphins while you’re in town.

Fresh salty breezes and views that stop all the noise.
Plus dolphins 💙
That’s what we’ve got waiting for you.

I’m proud to be a sponsor for Porchfest 2026. November 7th! Y’all come see me! Year two!

Www.savannahporchfest.com

WE LOVE BONAVENTURE DON. 🖤🎶

And we are so damn grateful to have him back as a Savannah Porchfest sponsor!

Don was one of our first original sponsors, showing up early and believing in what we were building before we even really knew what this thing was going to become. He has supported Savannah’s music community through and through, and we are incredibly lucky to have people like him in our corner.

When he’s not working or being the absolute best grandfather, you can count on finding Don somewhere out in the Savannah music scene on the weekend, supporting the artists, catching the shows, and sharing the magic.

And if you or someone visiting you is looking for a Bonaventure tour guide- this is your guy. Don leads tours that dig into Savannah’s music history, stories, characters, and legendary places in a way that only someone who genuinely loves this city and its music community can.

Go support the guy who supports everybody else.

We love you, Bonaventure Don. Thanks for believing in Porchfest from the beginning and continuing to show up for Savannah’s music community.

Now go book a tour, catch a show, and tell Don we sent you. 🎸📸

Bonaventure Don forever.

The oldest Torah in the New World, right here in Savannah.

The Oldest Complete Torah scroll in North America, dating back to the 15th century, hand-lettered by Crypto-Jews.

It is so old and fragile it never leaves its glass case. Written in 1450 on deerskin, tied together with cow gut, it is believed to be the oldest complete Torah in North America. Experts believe crypto-Jews in Spain or Portugal crafted it before the 15th-century expulsions. It crossed an ocean with refugees in 1733, nearly three hundred years after it was first written, and it has been here ever since. A scroll that survived the Inquisition is on display in Congregation Mickve Israel in Savannah, Georgia.

Most of us grew up thinking Memorial Day started with a federal proclamation and a ceremony at Arlington.

The actual origin is a little different -- and it happened just up the road from us.

On May 1, 1865, weeks after the Civil War ended, the Gullah Geechee community of South Carolina did something no one asked them to do.

The Washington Race Course had been used as a Confederate prison camp. Over 250 Union soldiers died there in captivity and were buried in a mass grave behind the grandstand. When the war ended, the Gullah Geechee community showed up. They spent two weeks exhuming those bodies and reburying them properly. They built a fence around the site and inscribed it with the words "Martyrs of the Race Course." Then ten thousand people, most of them newly freed, gathered to give those soldiers a funeral.

Nearly three thousand children led the procession, singing. Preachers spoke. Flowers were laid. They called it Decoration Day.

Three years later, in 1868, Union General John A. Logan made it official -- designating May 30th as a national day to decorate the graves of soldiers who died in the Civil War. The first national ceremony was held at Arlington National Cemetery. By 1890, every Northern state had made it an official holiday. After World War I, it expanded to honor the dead of all American wars.

In 1971 it became Memorial Day, moved to the last Monday in May.

However you spend today, we hope you carry with you the knowledge that this day was born from an act of grace, by people who had every reason to tend only to their own wounds and chose to honor someone else's fallen first.

That is what remembrance looks like at its finest. On this day, we honor all of our fallen and understand that without the sacrifices they have made we would not have the freedom we enjoy today.

We will never forget, nor let the legacy of America's brave soldiers fade.

Here’s something we don’t see everyday, it’s a horse drawn caisson leading a funeral procession into the cemetery.
