We were able to explore River Street in Savannah on Labor Day weekend when they were having a special event, including various food, drinks, arts, crafts and entertainment. However, even when there isn't a holiday special going on, this area is still a pleasant area to walk down. The path is full of various kitschy shops and restaurants. It also offers a nice view of the Savannah River and at the end features the statue of the Waving Girl.
The Waving Girl statue depicts Florence Martus, who as legend has it, waved at all sailors coming in to port in Savannah in hopes that her lover would return. When she was young, her lover departed at sea and she spent her whole life waiting for him, even though he never did come back.
