The Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival is an annual event held at J. F. Gregory Park, located at 521 Cedar St., the third weekend in October. People from all over the southeast come to sample southern hospitality while enjoying some of the best seafood you'll find anywhere. The festival features continuous entertainment on two stages with local and national entertainment.

Thrill-seekers will enjoy the carnival midway and shoppers will enjoy perusing the hand-made arts and crafts and business booths. Foodies will delight in the wide variety of delicious food including some of the most tasty seafood found anywhere in Coastal Georgia.

The Seafood Festival began in 1985 at the Kilkenny Fisherman's Co-op as a small, community fair that offered local seafood and a venue for local non-profit agencies to fundraise for their organizations. In the beginning, the founders of the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival were all volunteers, and very few in numbers. What they produced was a fun, family-oriented event, that also showed Richmond Hill as a great place to live.
