6th Annual ShrimpFest

The St. George Lighthouse Association is thrilled to announce the upcoming 6th Annual SGI ShrimpFest, a celebration of succulent shrimp dishes, vibrant music, unique shopping, and a festive atmosphere that promises a wonderful experience for all.

This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, February 13th, from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm in the western parking area adjacent to Lighthouse Park. This one-day outdoor event will be a shrimp-lover’s paradise, as we bring together local culinary talents to share their mouthwatering shrimp delicacies. Our array of shrimp dishes promises to tantalize your taste buds.

Adding to the festivities, there will be a curated group of arts and crafts vendors showcasing unique products, local nonprofit exhibitors, a beer and wine station and live music.

Tickets for the event are $5.00 for ages 13+ and will be available starting January 2, 2027, in person at the Lighthouse Gift Shop. Tickets will also be available at the gate on the day of the festival. Children twelve years of age and under are FREE but still require the “purchase” of a free ticket for entry. Grab your tickets, mark your calendar, and prepare for a day of fun. Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast, a music lover, or simply looking for a day of family fun on St. George Island, the SGI ShrimpFest has something for everyone.

The SGI Shrimp Festival, partially funded by the Franklin County TDC, is a fundraiser for the St. George Lighthouse Association (SGLA).  The SGLA is a 501c3 non-profit Florida corporation organized to preserve, maintain, and promote the Cape St. George Lighthouse. Funds raised are vital for the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of the Lighthouse, the Keeper’s House Museum, and Lighthouse Park.
