This event is free and open to the public. 912.265.4032 or visit www.goldenislesarts.org.
Jekyll Island:
The Jekyll Island Authority has decided not to produce a July 4th Fireworks display this year on Jekyll Island (2011) due to the ongoing construction and road detours on the island – specifically near the beach. They believe that the many local residents traveling to the island for this display in addition to the overnight hotel guests will cause major traffic safety issues.
The Classic Coastal Homes group wishes you and your family a relaxing and enjoyable holiday weekend. Please remember, the Lighthouse Trolley Company as well as local cab services are available to get you home safely.
