Each year our family heads over to Fernandina Beach for the entertainment and food as part of the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival. It is a big event, with fine arts & crafts, zany contests, a pirate invasion, the Miss Shrimp Pageant, and more. A nice family event, as the children loved the Shrimp Festival Pirate Parade and the Kid's Fun Zone. We enjoyed the savory food choices, as the festival's theme is Culinary Creations of Shrimp, a Tribute to Chefs of Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach.
