PRESS RELEASE
Submitted by Lisa Finkelstein, Executive Director
Fernandina Beach Main Street
April 20, 2021
​

A long-standing Fernandina Beach tradition, Shrimp Fest, will be celebrated during the first weekend in May with shrimp-themed shop windows. This year Fernandina Beach Main Street will once again partner with art students from the FBHS Art Department to bring some of the festivity to downtown on the traditional Shrimp Fest weekend.  

Art students will work in teams to paint windows throughout the historic downtown business district, under the guidance of Joy Keith, Art Instructor for the FBHS Art Department.  The public is invited to wander downtown from Friday, April 30th, through Sunday, May 2nd, to watch students paint.  Painting headquarters will be in the pocket park next to Amelia Island Coffee.  Everyone is invited to vote for their favorite window during the month of May!  

Painting locations will include Pelindaba Lavender, Teak & Ivy, Summer House Realty, Villa Villekulla Toy Store, Debonair, Amelia Island Coffee, Olive Amelia, Color It Green, Centered on Yoga, Wicked BAO, Lemongrass, Trailer Park Collectibles, Pineland Bank, and Red Otter.
