August 20-22, 2009 marks the 26th annual Jekyll Island Beach Music Festival and the first annual BBQ Bash. The BBQ Bash has been added to the long-standing Jekyll Island Beach Music Festival to complete a weekend of dancing, eating, and relaxing on the beach. Featured bands include The Swingin’ Medallions, Second Chance, the Fantastic Shakers, and Jim Quick & Coastline. In between concerts, guests can check out barbecue teams smoking-up their best recipes, take shag dance lessons, or even learn how to be a professional bbq judge.
Not sure how to shag dance? Wayne and Judy Bennett of the Golden Isles Shag Club will give lessons on Saturday, August 22 from 10 AM – 12 PM for $10 per person. Want to help judge the BBQ Bash? Sign up for the Judge’s Training Class on Friday, August 21. Registration for both can be found on the festival website. Register early as spaces are limited.
