Why Enmarket?

The Enmarket Arena opened in February 2022 in Savannah is widely praised for its modern design, high-quality acoustics, and overall cleanliness. The venue seats nearly 10,000 so it’s big enough to draw large acts but not feel overwhelming.  There are including twelve luxury suites, five lodge boxes, and a party suite.  The arena is home to the Savannah Ghost Pirates minor league hockey team.

If you want to catch a show, The Enmarket Arena is drawing a strong lineup for summer 2026, featuring headline acts including Journey (May 31), Weird Al Yankovic (June 3), and a two-night stop by Phish (July 14-15). Tickets for these major shows are already listed on Ticketmaster and other major ticketing platforms, with several events slated to begin at 7:30 PM.

Practical Takeaways for Enmarket Arena concerts 

  • Check Bag Policy: You’ll find a strict, clear bag policy for all events. Guests may bring one clear bag (plastic, vinyl or PVC) that doesn’t exceed 14”x 14” x 6” or a small bag, clutch or purse that doesn’t exceed 4.5 x 6.5”. If your bag is larger, you may be able to check it with a luggage valet.
  • Plan for Parking: While there is a decent amount of parking, be aware that "Shakedown" style tailgating is generally not permitted unless authorized. Parking will likely run you $50 and you can pay in advance or when you arrive.
  • Review Concessions: Look for the variety of food stalls if you have specific dietary needs, such as gluten-free requirements, but be prepared for stadium-standard pricing. There are several bars. Be sure to tip your bar tender!
  • Uber: If driving seems daunting or you are planning on drinking, consider Ubers which are widely available.  There is a designated pick up area outside the arena. Follow signs!
