The Jekyll Island Beach Music Festival has been going for over 25 years and has hosted acts as different as the Beach Boys to the Tams. Last year representatives of the Carolina Beach Music Association attended, and they were amazed that such a great party could happen south of Myrtle Beach. They said that the greatest bands in beach music would literally stand in line for the opportunity to play down here.

Shag Dancing, Beach & Boogie

Great Bands bring Great Times, the Shaggers hear about it and want to come too. This is why the Jekyll Island Authority who run the festival decided to get the Shag community involved. Fun Monday at the Fall Migration of SOS is acknowledged as a great party, but not everyone from Georgia, Alabama and Florida can make the trip, so we all decided to put on the best beach party south of North Myrtle Beach - bar none. The beach concert is a free party, on the beach Saturday afternoon. Either side are the Friday and Saturday night performances in the Jekyll Island Convention Center In all there will 6 great performances from the best in the business. The beach can hold as many people who want to come, the bandstand, and audio systems will support crowds of over 2,000, 3,000, 5,000+ ... Convention center facilities of 18,000 and 11,000 sf can hold 500 - 2000 people depending on how the Staging, Bars and Dance Floor are configured.

Workshops ~ Learn to Shag thru Advanced

Not everyone can Shag Dance, and many men think their two left feet impair them. It is not two left feet it is the left side of the brain getting in the way saying, "You might look foolish out there at your age, learning to dance". If you already shag then the intermediate workshops are for you, taught by well known instructors. This year we are adding to the workshops, Hustle I and Hustle II. We are finding more and more crossover dancers, who have come from Ballroom to Shag and Vice-Versa, so we decided to "Meet in the Middle with Hustle" We are not all about Shag, we have been known to Line Dance, Two Step and even do Country Cha-Cha's. So come an join people who dance and party along with the occasional Adult Beverage or two.
