SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – The weather is cooling down and the festivities are ramping up. There are several events happening around the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry this weekend and Michaela Romero gives us a look at some fun things you can do with this weekend’s round-up.
Oyster Roast for a Reason:
If you enjoy live music and fresh Georgia-grown oysters, you’ll want to head to Skidaway Island for the annual Oyster Roast for a Reason.
It is a fundraising event hosted by the UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant with a goal to raise funds to support environmental education experiences at the UGA aquarium. Organizers say this event is the perfect way to give back to the community, all while having a good time.
The event starts at 1 and goes until 4.
