Amelia Island is getting ready to host the 47th annual shrimp festival.
The clip you see above is from last years shrimp festival. The Shrimp festival in Fernandina started out as the Shrimp boat Races and the art show was added later.

When the fuel got so expensive the shrimp boats could no longer afford the fuel bill just to put on the race, So It evolved into the Isle of Eight Flags shrimp festival , Which has the art exhibits and plenty of other activities.

The Shrimp Festival held on Amelia Island is second to none.
Each year it is a big event for Amelia Island , Music fills the streets and some of the best sea food you could imagine is right here.
Come on down and join in the fun !!
