Come hungry and leave happy. Fernandina Beach’s signature spring celebration takes over Historic Downtown for a long weekend of fresh shrimp, waterfront food booths, fine arts & crafts, live entertainment, and a Kids Fun Zone—all wrapped in salty sea-breeze charm. The fun kicks off with the Shrimp Festival Parade on Thursday, April 30 at 6:00 PM, then rolls into festival hours Fri 5:30–10 PM, Sat 9 AM–7 PM, Sun 10 AM–5 PM. Admission is free, and it’s held rain or shine.
