Jekyll Island Beach Village Announces Movies and Music Series
JEKYLL ISLAND, GA – May 21, 2018 – Jekyll Island’s Beach Village Green will be hopping this summer. Returning for a fourth year, the island’s popular Movie on the Green series kicks off later this month. In addition, Jekyll Island has added a new event: Beach Village Music Series.
“We’re excited to offer even more free, family-friendly entertainment throughout the summer and into fall,” said Jekyll Island Authority Senior Director of Marketing Meggan Hood. “Our unique, oceanside movie and music experiences can only be found on Jekyll and we’re pleased to welcome back guests of all ages.”
Last year, the Beach Village Green filled with visitors from near and far on movie nights. The mix of recent classics and new favorites means there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
