Friday, April 30th, 2021

Jekyll Island will postpone the Shrimp & Grits festival for a second year.

Jones Hooks, executive director of the Jekyll Island Authority, announced during the JIA Board’s monthly meeting Tuesday that he and his staff have decided to push the festival to November 2022 in response to challenges that have not gone away despite the shifting nature of the pandemic that canceled the event in 2020.
