The Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival takes place each October and has grown into one of the largest, most fun filled family events on the Georgia Coast!
The Seafood Festival began in 1985 at the Kilkenny Fisherman‚ Co-op as a small, community fair that offered local seafood and a venue for local non-profit agencies to fundraise for their organizations. In the beginning, the founders of the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival were all volunteers, and very few in numbers. What they produced was a fun, family-oriented event, that also showed Richmond Hill as a great place to live.
Today, thirteen years later, we are still mostly an all-volunteer committee of approximately 300 people (with the exception of a few paid entities such as police/safety, fire and emergency staff, bus drivers, and so on). The Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival has grown to a festival of 35,000 attendees featuring some of the best coastal seafood you can find, cooked in a variety of ways, premiere desserts, and who can forget the Kettle Corn and Peach Cobbler cooked by the Boy Scouts! We have over 50 arts and crafts booths showing their wares, business booth row showcasing numerous businesses around town, a 5K Crab Crawl, and oh, the entertainers.
You never know who is going to show up to perform at our event. Past entertainers include Little River Band, Lou Gramm & John Waite, Charlie Daniels, Survivor, Eddie
Money, The Blues Brothers, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Swingin‚ Medallions, Gregg Allman & Friends, The Original Tams and The O‚Kaysions
