4^th of July week is a favorite time of year on St. Simons Island. For over 60 years, the St. Simons Island Sunshine Festival has been held in the Pier Village, welcoming all ages to celebrate!

On Friday, July 4, the race begins at 7:00am. The 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk 5K begins at 8:00am. The race starts and finishes at the Mallery Park (near the Dairy Queen and ball fields) on St. Simons Island. Race Day registration and packet pick up is from 6:00am – 7:15am at Mallery Park. Or register in advance online.

Wear your patriotic gear to run or cheer the runners!

Golf Cart Parade – July 4, 2:30pm

Deck out your golf cart in red, white and blue and join the golf cart parade! Carts line up adjacent to Mallery Park, then make their way through the St. Simons Island Village.

Live Music – July 4

Throughout the day, live bands entertain on the bandstand in the village area.

Fireworks – July 4, 9:00pm

The annual fireworks display is launched from the pier, so the best viewing areas are Neptune Park and nearby waterfront locations. Bring a chair, sit back and enjoy the show! Parking is tight, so arrive early, walk or bike.

Summer is upon us in the Golden Isles!
