Jekyll Island Shrimp and Grits Festival ★ 4.5
The Jekyll Island Shrimp and Grits Festival runs two days in late October on Jekyll Island, chefs and home cooks competing across variations with live music.
Savannah's coastal food calendar reaches beyond the historic district. The Jekyll Island Shrimp and Grits Festival runs two late-October days of chefs and home cooks competing across the dish's variations, while the Pin Point Seafood Festival in late September celebrates Gullah Geechee seafood tradition at the Pin Point Heritage Museum on Moon River. Both are worth building a drive around.
