The 49th Annual Grand Bay Watermelon Festival, will be held from 3 pm to 7 pm on July 3, 2023 and full day on July 4th from 10 am to 6 pm. On the 3rd, our preview day, we don’t charge for parking and we will have Arts & Crafts vendors, rides, food vendors, and entertainment, (but no watermelon yet). On the 4th, admission is only $5 per vehicle, and in addition to our Arts & Crafts vendors, rides, food vendors and entertainment, we will also have the Pretty Baby Contest, Car Show, games, and have all the free, sliced, ice cold, sweet Grand Bay watermelon you can eat, provided by Sessions Farm market. We are looking for Sponsors to help with the cost of the children’s rides. We also plan to have a fireworks show at dusk. May God bless you and our Country!
