The Story
Named for longtime Savannah alderman John Rousakis, who championed the 1977 riverfront revitalization that transformed decaying industrial wharves into a public promenade. The plaza hosts festivals, concerts, and the famous First Saturday events. The cobblestone walkway along the river offers views of massive container ships passing just feet away.
