The award-winning Jekyll Island Shrimp & Grits Festival returns to the Historic District this year. This three-day celebration of the classic Southern dish combines food, family-friendly entertainment and live music (see I’m With the Band for schedule), an artists’ market, kids’ zone, and more. The island comes alive during this fun-filled weekend, so make plans to attend! Admission is free, but Jekyll Island daily parking fee increases by $4/vehicle. (Annual passes not affected.) Gates open Friday, November 4, 4:00 to 9:00 p.m., Saturday, November 5, 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Sunday, November 6, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
