Sidney Lanier Park will be filled with arts & crafts, food & merchandise vendors, as well as music and entertainment from 9am-7pm on Saturday, May 13. An exciting lineup of live music includes Albert Jerome Lee, The Mufflers, Crystal Hopkins, Lance Stinson, and Across the Wide. The 79th Blessing of the Fleet will start at 2pm.. Rev. Tim McKeown, pastor at St. Francis Xavier will be on board the GA Bulldog, the University of Georgia’s Marine Research Vessel, to bless the shrimp fleet and pleasure craft as they pass the pier at Sidney Lanier Park.
