Brunswick, Ga.

The Coastal Resources Division (CRD) is thrilled to announce the rescheduling of its annual CoastFest event, which will now take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at Mary Ross Waterfront Park in Brunswick.

Originally planned for October 2024, CoastFest was postponed due to the impacts of Hurricane Helene. The March event promises to deliver the same exciting blend of education, entertainment, and family-friendly activities that have made it a beloved tradition for over two decades.

“CoastFest is a celebration of our vibrant coastal environment, and we’re excited to bring it back this spring,” said Tyler Jones, CRD’s CoastFest coordinator. “We’re working hard to ensure that the rescheduled event will continue to inspire and educate visitors about the importance of Georgia’s coastal resources.”

Highlights of the day will include:

Interactive exhibits from CRD-partner environmental organizations and agencies
Live animal encounters featuring coastal wildlife
Educational activities and demonstrations about conservation and sustainability
Food vendors, activities, and cannon firings

Admission to CoastFest is free, and the event is open to the public.

With a wide variety of hands-on experiences and learning opportunities, CoastFest offers something for everyone, from young children to lifelong learners.
