The 31st annual event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature the festival's first-ever Makos on Main parade with students and a Mako Mudbug Mania crawfish-eating contest.

The annual festival features a full day of delicious food, 100+ artists from throughout the South, and music for the whole family to enjoy on two stages. In addition, there is a large Kids' Zone with activities, and a huge car show - featuring antique, classic and hot rod vehicles all along Main Street.

There's something for everyone from our Arts & Crafts booths - handmade jewelry, metal yard and garden art, beach-art inspired signs, homemade candles, glass bird feeders, nautical décor, 3D cut glass art, clothing and many other art, crafts and specialty items.
