Savannah’s only community run + art + food festival celebrating a youth-led public planting project along the Truman Linear Trail, with camellias in peak bloom.
The Savannah Camellia Festival & Community Run invites runners, walkers, families, and neighbors to enjoy thousands of youth-planted camellias along the Truman Linear Trail, followed by a free, open-door festival at Cohen’s Retreat with food, art, kids activities, and short demonstrations. The event includes a 5K run and a 1–2 mile community walk.
What’s new this year:
❀ First-ever community run and walk on the Truman Linear Park Trail

All paces welcome. Go at your speed. Stroll it, roll it—kids and dogs welcome.
