Summer Festivals Bring Good Eating to Downtown Brunswick Summer means longer daylight hours, warmer weather and tons of festivals and that means eating. Feast on some of these summer events and festivals planned for summer in downtown Brunswick. Enjoy fresh seafood plus seafood cooking, peeling and eating competitions at the Brunswick Seafood Festival from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 26 at Mary Ross Waterfront Park. Admission is free. This Fourth of July, bring yourself, your family and friends and join thousands of happy kids and adults for free games, free watermelon and, of course, free fireworks at Mary Ross Waterfront Park in Brunswick.
Players compete for prizes of delicious, whole, south Georgia watermelons.
Free slices are handed out all evening, compliments of the city of Brunswick. The fireworks over the waters of the East River and Oglethorpe Bay begin about 9 p.m. and last 30 minutes. The fun, family event is sponsored each year by the city of Brunswick, the Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Association and the Downtown Development Authority. Bluegrass and country music throughout the afternoon and more varieties of Brunswick Stew than one could ever possibly eat, makes this a fun, easy-going day down by the water. The Brunswick Farmers Market at Mary Ross Waterfront Park operates 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday throughout the year, but summertime is a particularly good time to visit.
