Seafood Festival

Celebrate coastal flavor and small-town charm at the St. Marys Seafood Festival, held annually on the first Saturday in October. Formerly known as the Rock Shrimp Festival, this beloved event fills the streets of historic downtown St. Marys with the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Georgia coast. Kick off the day with a 5K or 10K run, then enjoy a lively themed parade, live music, arts and crafts vendors, and—of course—plenty of fresh seafood. With waterfront views, family-friendly activities, and a festive atmosphere, it’s a can’t-miss tradition that captures the heart of this scenic coastal community.
