Come celebrate Flannery’s 100th birthday with a performance by Moon River Opera, a popup art show by Panhandle Slim, Flannery-inspired crafts by Live Oak Public Library and Starlandia, vintage merch from Vintage Vortex, and birthday cake in celebration of O’Connor’s 100th birthday. Attendees are invited to dress up as Flannery to compete in a Flannery look-alike contest.

In addition, a portion of Lafayette Square will be dedicated to the annual Savannah Local Author Day, where local and regional poets, children’s book authors, and fiction and nonfiction writers will be on-hand.

The birthday party will culminate in a promenade around Lafayette Square and birthday cake. Bring handmade signs and sing along.
