The St. George Lighthouse Association is thrilled to announce that it will be hosting the 2nd Annual SGI ShrimpFest on May 13, 2023, from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm in the western parking area adjacent to Lighthouse Park.

This family and community-oriented festival will be a one-day event offering patrons great outdoor musical entertainment, a small fairway of games for the children sponsored by the Forgotten Coast Parrothead Club, and the chance to dine on the freshest and most delicious local shrimp dishes. 

Musical entertainment will be provided by two awesome acts. Local favorites, Flying Fish, duo Singer-songwriters Robert E. Mason and Jeff Dutrow will start the day playing their palette of music with smears of color from the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Solomon Burke, Mavis Staples, various blues and shades of Americana. Headlining this year's festival will be Bill Wharton, a.k.a "The Sauce Boss".  Bill’s music is a fun blend of roots and swampy Florida blues-rock. This Singer-songwriter is a slide guitar player and gumbo chef…cooking up a mind-blowing gumbo right on stage then passing out the tasty results at set's end.  If you like lowdown-boogie blues, you are going to love The Sauce Boss.

The SGI Shrimp Festival, partially funded by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council, is the only fundraiser for the St. George Lighthouse Association (SGLA).  The SGLA is a 501c3 non-profit Florida corporation organized to preserve, maintain, and promote the Cape St. George Lighthouse. Funds raised are vital for the on-going maintenance and enhancement of the Lighthouse, the Keeper’s House Museum, and Lighthouse Park.
