Savannah Kicks Off ‘912 Day’ With 9-Day Citywide Scavenger Hunt

Savannah is throwing a citywide party for itself and you’re invited.

Starting September 3, the city will launch the “9 Days of 912” scavenger hunt, leading up to Savannah Day (aka 912 Day) on September 12. Think of it as a nine-day adventure that gets you exploring local landmarks, snapping selfies, and showing love for the 912.

How it Works

• Follow the Clues: Each day, the City of Savannah will drop a new clue on Instagram and Facebook.
• Find the Spot: Track down the landmark or location.
• Snap + Share: Post a selfie at the spot, tag @CityofSavannah, and use the hashtags:
  #912Day #Savannah912Day #SavannahStrong #SAV912Day
• Win Big: Daily prizes are up for grabs, and if you complete all 9 days, you’ll be entered in a grand prize raffle announced at the 912 Day finale.

(Pro tip: your Instagram or Facebook must be public for your entries to count.)

Why 912 Day Matters

If you’ve lived here a while, you know locals have celebrated “912 Day” for years, but in 2021, Mayor Van Johnson officially declared it Savannah Day. Since then, the city has turned it into a tradition.

What started as a social media challenge has grown into a full-on citywide celebration. This year, expect immersive cultural events, community showcases, and plenty of ways to connect with neighbors whether you’re a born-and-raised local, a transplant, or just visiting.

The Rules in a Nutshell

• Open to both residents and visitors.
• Your posts must be original selfies at each location.
• You’ve got to be following @CityofSavannah.
• Keep it fun and respectful—offensive posts get disqualified.

The finale event on September 12 will bring everyone together.
