at Celebrate America’s 250th—or semiquincentennial, if you’re looking to impress—on Jekyll Island with two days of laid-back, family-friendly fun. July 3 Head to Beach Village for a free afternoon carnival from 2–7 p.m., complete with bounce houses, carnival rides (including a mechanical shark), and face painting. July 4 The Turtle Stage in Beach Village comes to life from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. with live music from Gypsy Joe, WharfRatz, and Squirt Gun. Spend the day enjoying the music, then make your way toward the beach as the evening sets in. At approximately 9 p.m., the celebration culminates with a fireworks display over Great Dunes Beach Park—our biggest and best yet. Jekyll Island Authority 912.635.3636 info@jekyllisland.com
From miles of marsh to unspoiled beaches, this little barrier island on Georgia's coast is a beautiful blend of serenity and discovery.🌴 #jekyllis...
