This event has become a Tybee tradition, held every January 1st at noon at the Pier on the south end of the island. Plan to be with us next year, invigorating your soul with a cleansing (and cold) plunge into the Atlantic.

On March 4th and 5th, 2011 Tybeefest will present the 3nd Annual Mardi Gras Tybee celebration on Tybee Island, Georgia. Tybee is a natural setting for the Mardi Gras event due to its unique character and fun-loving residents.
The event will encompass the traditions of Mardi Gras, an event with origins dating back to the ancient Romans and carried on today in cities such as Mobile, Alabama and New Orleans, Louisiana. Mardi Gras is held on the last day before the start of Lent.
"The Last Song" is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks and was filmed on Tybee during the Summer of 2009. The movie is now playing in a theater near you. Click on image above to watch a trailer for the film and to learn more about it.
