Festivals & Celebrations
Small towns, big experiences
Southern Coastal Georgia is known for a laidback, relaxing vibe with natural habitats for enjoying the outdoors and perfect weather for food and music festivals. With the ability to stroll wooded trails, nestled among marsh and palm trees, or to get lost in thought taking in the rivers, it’s no wonder they say nature reigns here. Kingsland is the jewel of Camden County and promotes a number of events each year for Kingsland and neighboring St. Mary’s and Woodbine. These festivals and celebrations are a perfect opportunity to get outdoors and explore all of Mother Nature’s offerings while enjoying live music, good food, and merriment with friends. Get the full “hometown” experience at one of our lively events.
