ST SIMONS ISLAND The Sunshine Festival on St. Simons Island includes a 5K race, golf cart parade, fireworks, live music, and a multi-day arts & crafts show. Begin your Independence Day at Mallery Park (601 Mallery Street) with the Sunshine Festival Race on the morning of the 4th. There’s a 7:00 a.m. start for the 5K race and the 1 Mile Fun Run begins at 8:00 a.m. An award ceremony follows the run. For more information about the race, including registration information and how to volunteer, visit goldenislestrackclub.com. The annual golf cart parade assembles at Mallery Park in the afternoon July 4th. The carts will make their way through the Village beginning at 2:30 p.m. This parade seems to get bigger and better every year, so be sure to
come out and grab a spot on the sidewalk to join the fun (or decorate your cart and be a part of the procession!) Crowds will start to gather on the lawn at Neptune Park late Thursday afternoon to get ready for the fantastic 4th of July fireworks. While you wait for the fireworks, the fabulous Traveling Riverside Band will keep you entertained with a wide range of tunes that include everything from Southern and Classic Rock to CountryAmericana, maybe with a little Funk or Reggae thrown in for fun. They’ll be playing from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. At sundown (approximately 9:00 p.m.), it’s time for the pièce de résistance: the fireworks display from the Pier. After the grande finale and the final “oohs” and “aahs” die down, the
band will take the stage again and play until about 10:15 p.m. The Sunshine Festival Arts & Crafts Show hosted by SoGlo Gallery/Brunswick Actors Theatre will take place Thursday, July 4 through Sunday, July 7 in Postell Park. Local and regional vendors will be selling paintings, pottery, photographs, artisan foods and products, jewelry, woodcrafts, and more from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily.
