St. George Island, Florida

What happens here

These are recurring annual events, not a dated calendar. We list the pattern — the month, and the weekend a thing has always fallen on — because a stale date is worse than none at all. Confirm this year’s dates with the organiser before you book anything.

1. March

   St. George Island Chili Cook-Off

   Started over forty years ago as a small fundraiser for the island's volunteer fire department, and the proceeds still go to local emergency services. Now an International Chili Society competition drawing cooks from across the country, with a silent auction and the Red Pepper 5K.
