Read full article: Fernandina’s Shrimp Festival canceled for 2nd yearFERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. – For the second year in a row, the annual Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival will not happen due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic. It was scheduled to take place from April 30 to May 3 this year. “We don’t feed comfortably where they are with the vaccine and how people are dealing it,” Harrison said. Because the food vendors are all nonprofit organizations and the shrimp festival is often their largest fundraiser of the year, a Fall Fun Weekend may take place the first week of October, if conditions allow. It would be limited to the waterfront and feature mostly local entertainment, “but we will have lots of shrimp to eat and enjoy.”
