July 16th, 2015 - St. Simons Island, GA

MEET THE OFFICIAL POSTER ARTIST

The people have spoken and via an online voting contest Alexandra Nicole Newton was picked out of five creative posters and deemed The Official Artist for this year’s Shrimp & Grits: The Wild Georgia Shrimp Festival.

This years festival will take place SEPTEMBER 19-21, 2014

The Wild Georgia Shrimp Festival celebrates the delicious sweet taste of Wild Georgia Shrimp and the beauty of Jekyll Island. Since its inaugural year in 2006, the festival has been satisfying hungry appetites and pleasing audiences with a variety of shrimp-related fun.

From never-ending options of shrimp and grits dishes and guest chef demonstrations, to live music, and a Craft Brew Tasting, the annual Shrimp & Grits: Wild Georgia Shrimp Festival is a true playground for good (and tasty) times.

Whether you plan to eat your way through the festival with the many shrimp & grits vendor booths, would rather shop to your heart’s content with the arts and crafts showcase, or want to bounce the weekend away at the Kids Fun Zone, there is something for everyone at this 8th annual foodie fest.

These three days of food, friends and family-fun start with the $3 Sample Night on September 19, then continue on September 20 and 21 with more food vendors, live music and performances, cooking demonstrations from skilled chefs, and plenty of games, activities and even pony rides in the Kids Fun Zone. Coinciding with the outdoor fun is the Craft Brew Tasting, set up in the (air-conditioned) Morgan Center, offering dozens of beer varieties from the Southern Eagle Distributors line-up.
