It will be the first Beach Music Festival and Barbecue Bash held in Great Dunes Park the first completed element of the island’s revitalization and the last in Jekyll Island Convention Center, another element of the island’s revitalization that will soon be rebuilt. 
 
Come celebrate as Jekyll Island showcases the beautiful new oceanfront park and commemorates the many memories created at the Jekyll Island Convention Center. 
 
Event activities include a concert by festival headlines The Swingin Medallions, shag lessons, a barbecue and wine tasting, barbecue cooking competition, and hosts of complimentary entertainment.
