Free Family Day at Davenport House Museum, Savannah

Free Family Day at Davenport House Museum, Sept. 13th

Mid-Autumn Festival Family Day

Sunday 9/13 | 11AM – 2PM

Davenport House Museum

323 E Broughton St, Savannah

Cost: Free

__________________________

Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Davenport House Museum and the Savannah Chinese Association during this free Family Day filled with hands-on activities, cultural performances, refreshments, and fun for all ages. One of the most important holidays in many East and Southeast Asian cultures, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the harvest, family reunions, and the full moon—a time for gathering together, sharing food, and giving thanks. 

The celebration also honors an important chapter in the Davenport House’s own history. From 1901–1902, the home was occupied by the Chan family, one of Savannah’s earliest Chinese American families. Through this special partnership, guests are invited to connect with the museum’s past while celebrating a living cultural tradition. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the return of the museum’s acclaimed exhibition, Old Chan Magic: Chinese Roots, Southern Branches, which shares the story of the Chan family and Savannah’s early Chinese community. 

At 12:15pm there will be the official opening of Charming Savannah Seen Through Chinese Eyes a photography exhibition celebrating the beauty, character, and stories of Savannah through the perspectives of local Chinese photographers. This exhibition is a visual conversation about place, belonging, and community. Through their lenses, the photographers share how Savannah has inspired them, welcomed them, and become part of their own stories. 

Family Day is free and open to the public thanks to generous support from the City of Savannah. Join us for an afternoon of history, culture, and community as we celebrate the many stories that make Savannah unique.
