This November, join us for some post-Halloween thrills at the premiere of HauntFest: Harvest of Horrors at Bobby Brown Park in Elberton. The magic begins at 5 p.m. on Nov. 6 and 2 p.m. on Nov. 7, continuing until the clock strikes midnight. Camping, yurts, movie screenings, bouncy houses and more are offered at this venue! If you’re a raging psychopath, sign up to sleep in our Night Terrors camping area, where our ghouls can creep around your tent after hours until 2 a.m. on Sunday morning. To take a first look at the venue, come to our free, on-the-water, Sink or Swim horror movie promo event on July 25. For more information, to get involved, or to buy tickets, visit the website below.

HauntFest is an immersive macabre experience, celebrating the horror arts through live music, art vendors, themed entertainment and bewitching activities. Similar to a Rennaissance Fair, but with a haunted twist. HauntFest is known to have had activities such as axe throwing, live animal encounters (holding snakes or kittens in Halloween costumes), trivia, rage rooms, free-roaming ghouls, food and drink, ghost stories by the fire, freak shows, crafts, face painting, hayrides, celebrity appearances, costume contests and more, always accompanied by a haunted trail or other attraction.

Imagine running a show when all of your stars are birds!

Become a Trainer for a Day at the World of Wild Theater presented by Georgia Natural Gas, and see firsthand how training is used to care for and connect guests to the birds while participating in the Fantastic Flights presentation!

Work alongside the Ambassador Animals Team to experience how these feathered friends showcase their unique adaptations in these presentations and learn about the positive reinforcement training that ensures that all of the birds are participating voluntarily.   This behind-the-scenes look at Fantastic Flights and its amazing participants will give you a greater appreciation for the term “bird brain” and the important relationships between the birds and their care team. Participants can expect to meet members of the Animal Care Team, meet an animal, learn about our positive reinforcement training and enrichment programs, and walk away with knowledge of how to save species. All participation in Keeper for a Day programs is voluntary for the animals.

Seven Ladies is a new exhibition focused on Katharine Judkins Clark, Elinor Adler Dillard, Anna Colquitt Hunter, Lucy Barrow McIntire, Dorothy Ripley Roebling, Nola McEvoy Roos and Jane Adair Wright. Together, these seven women joined forces to purchase and protect the Isaiah Davenport House, an 1820 Federal-style home on Columbia Square, from being razed and founded Historic Savannah Foundation, a permanent organization dedicated to saving and preserving historic buildings throughout the city.

Through historic photographs, archival materials and interpretative storytelling, this inspiring exhibition explores each of these influential women, including their personal histories, lived experiences and the convictions that compelled them to serve their community at a pivotal moment in Savannah’s history.

Open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., this exclusive exhibition will remain on display at the Murray C. Perlaman and Wayne C. Spear Preservation Center inside the Historic Kennedy Pharmacy throughout 2026.
