About Savannah Civic Center

Welcome to the Savannah Civic Center, a premier downtown venue in Savannah, Georgia. Operated by the City of Savannah and managed by OVG Facilities, this complex hosts a wide range of events from concerts and Broadway shows to conventions and family performances. As the City moves forward with renovations and renaming, the venue continues to be a central hub for entertainment and gatherings in the Historic District.

Whether you’re catching a show in the Johnny Mercer Theatre or planning a larger event in the MLK Jr Arena, we’ve got you covered with practical seating information, accessible parking, transit options, and nearby lodging and dining to make your visit easy and enjoyable.

Planning ahead helps you secure your seats and make the most of your time in Savannah. The Civic Center sits at 301 West Oglethorpe Avenue, within easy reach of multiple parking options and a short walk to beloved downtown hotels like Embassy Suites Savannah Historic District and The DeSoto. For a smooth trip, consider the free DOT downtown shuttle and CAT bus routes that serve the Historic District. As renovations progress and the venue redefines its identity as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Civic Center, you’ll still find a diverse lineup of performances and community events on the calendar.
