St Simons Island festivals celebrating the food, history and culture of coastal Georgia bring many visitors to the Golden Isles each year: the Georgia Sea Islands festival in summer highlights local African-American culture, and food festivals showcase the area’s favorite dishes and culinary traditions.
Other St Simons Island events throughout the year include spring and fall arts and crafts fairs and antiques shows, and summer outdoor concerts. Other events include oyster roasts, spring home and garden tours, fundraising events, and 4th of July and holiday season activities.
There are many things to do in St Simons Island beyond its festivals and events: miles of beach and various water sports, dolphin tours and other nature-focused activities; the St Simons Island Lighthouse and the World War II Home Front Museum; a visit to the historic Christ Church or Fort Frederica; or hiking or biking along the island’s many trails or at the Cannon’s Point Preserve.
