Mark your calendars
now for the 35th annual Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp
Festival. The fun starts Thursday, April 30, at 6 p.m.
with a pirate-filled parade. The following evening at 7
p.m., the sights and sounds of talented musicians,
sparkling fireworks, the Invasion of Pirates and the the
Miss Shrimp Festival beauty pageant mark the Opening
Ceremonies held at the docks at the foot of Centre
Street.
The excitement continues through Saturday and Sunday when
400 nationally recognized artists, craftsmen and antique
vendors shower the area with treats for everyone. The
Shrimp Festival was named to the "Sunshine
Artists" 1996 Best 200 list, a true indication of
excellence in the arts and crafts industry.
In addition to arts and crafts, there will be live music,
the Blessing of the Fleet, a Children's Fun Area and of
course, lots and lots of delicious local seafood!
