- The Savannah Voice Festival wraps up this weekend with a number of shows. Friday brings the "Fab Four," a '60s celebration, to the Charles H. Morris Center at 7 p.m.; $35 general seating, $45 premium. On Saturday, the same venue will host La Traviata at 7 p.m.; $40. Full schedule here.
- Feel the love at Tybee Equality Fest this weekend. Events range from family fun at the beach to adult parties at night, including burlesque shows, Friday through Sunday.
Marianne's picks:
- Find a reason to support Savannah Children's Choir at their 99 Reasons Why event at Ghost Coast Distillery. It offers a chance to learn about the group, win one of 99 raffle prizes and sip some tasty cocktails, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
