Events on Tybee Island

Fri 21st May

Beach Bum Parade

Beach Bum Parade

An annual event that is much anticipated by the locals on Tybee Island.

The Beach Bum Parade might surprise the unsuspecting visitor. Like most parades, there are floats pulled behind cars and trucks. Unlike most parades, however, the floats, often trailers or boats, are filled with water-throwing paraphernalia. Spectators, lined up along the parade route on Butler Avenue, are armed with buckets, squirt guns and hoses. What results is an all-out water war for fun loving beach bums of all ages.

The parade is followed by activities at many of the local businesses.
