• Themed Festivals – The Tybee Island Pirate Festival runs in October, but if you plan to visit the island during this off-season, book early because cottages run out fast for this family favorite.
• Artisan and Farmers’ Markets – The weekly farmers’ and artisan markets run throughout summer on Tybee Island and feature the freshest finds and local goods. Likewise, you have the wine festivals that pop up throughout the year, including the one hosted by the Tybee Post Theater in April.
• Art Festivals – For the artist in the family, visit the annual art show from the Tybee Arts Association or the truly unique Sand Art Festival where everything is created from the sand on the beach.
