Banquets

All of our banquets will be held at the beautiful riverside Savannah International Trade & Convention Center, also ‘home’ to most Parade week activities.  We plan to incorporate some good ‘ole southern food, hospitality and traditions to this year’s banquets. There will also be two ‘free’ nights where  you can experience some of historic Savannah’s wonderful and quaint restaurants and nightlife, all just a free ferry ride away, across the river.

After a few years’ hiatus, the Welcome Party will be a German buffet, with all of the usual favorites—Joghurt Salatsauce Mit Greens;  Warm German Potato Salad; German Tomato Salad; Schnitzel Holstein; Grilled Bratwurst and Sauerkraut; Sauerbraten; Kaes-Spaetzle; Parsley Butter Potatoes; Red Cabbage with Apricots and Balsamic Vinegar; Hot German Green Beans Tossed with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette; Pretzel Rolls ; Black Forest Cake or Apple Strudel for dessert.

The Concours Banquet will be our most ‘formal’ banquet, with a menu to reflect  that—Mixed Green Salad; Dual Entrée of Bacon Wrapped Sirloin & Savannah Crabcake with Cajun Remoulade Sauce;  Fresh Mashed Potatoes; Creamed Spinach;  Rolls; Dessert  is either Chocolate Suicide Cake or Seasonal Berries with Grand Marnier Crème Anglaise.
