Savannah’s hands-on, interactive, family-friendly celebration of live art, music, and food truck cuisine includes a robust musical lineup of familiar favorites, including headliner Chuck Leavell, who many in the Savannah area will remember as a key figure in The Allman Brothers Band.

Festival attendees will also enjoy performances by The New Familiars, called ‘an Americana rock & roll fixture’ in the southeast; Southern Avenue, considered to be Memphis’ best soul, blues and gospel band; Randall Bramblett, dubbed by Rolling Stone as “one of the South’s most lyrical and literate songwriters;” and more.

As with every A-Town Festival, professional local and regional artists will produce live art installations and large-scale performances as well as participate in interactive workshops with festival attendees of all ages.

Developmental Delays

Do you have concerns about your child’s expressive language? Are they talking as much as they should? Do they understand simple directions? Is it hard to understand your child’s speech?

Children develop speech and language skills at different rates and it can be challenging to determine if they are on the right track. The therapists at The Speech Clinic of the Coastal Empire on Wilmington Island in Savannah can help! Therapists complete in-depth evaluations and assess all aspects of communication.

If you are interested in scheduling an evaluation, please contact The Speech Clinic office: 912 235 2166
