This year’s Southern Grown Weekend promises to be full of fun and engaging experiences. As in the past, we come together to celebrate all things Southern, and this year, with our “How to Be a Southerner” workshops and demonstrations, we can brush up on our ability to tie a bow tie and shuck an oyster, or explore new tips for preparing southern cuisine and cocktails. The musical side of things will no doubt be a winner as well, starting with Garden & Gun’s Kick-off Dinner and a Show on Friday with Nashville-based Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors. The musical highlight of the weekend occurs on Saturday night when the Grammy®-nominated band NEEDTOBREATHE takes the stage. We appreciate the support and involvement of our sponsors, partners, and volunteers in planning and staging this year’s event. Thanks also go to every Sea Island team member who has helped make this weekend a reality. As they have for almost 90 years, they are providing the genuine, Southern hospitality for which Sea Island is known. Thank you for being part of this year’s festival. I hope you enjoy every moment of your time with us.
