Join us for the Jekyll Island Beach Music Festival & BBQ Bash!
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
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.
The weekend begins with an early bird party at Oceanside Inn & Suites on Thursday, August 20. The Early Bird Party includes a cook-out by the pool and beach music by DJ George Perkins. Continuing the tradition, the Swingin’ Medallions will perform in Atlantic Hall at the Jekyll Island Convention Center on Friday, August 21. On Saturday, regional barbecue teams will be smokin’ their favorite recipes and two great bands – Second Chance and the Fantastic Shakers – will perform a free concert on the beach! The Saturday evening finale party wraps things up with Jim Quick & Coastline in Atlantic Hall.
Take your weekend experience to the next level by being a Beach Music Festival VIP. VIP passes include admission the Saturday afternoon VIP tent at the concert on the beach AND entry to the Friday and Saturday night concerts. The Saturday afternoon VIP tent includes free beer, free lunch, and a nice seat in the shade.
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.
