Each summer beginning Memorial Day weekend and lasting into September, GIAHA brings you six great concerts by the best local and regional jazz musicians. Planned for high tide Sundays (for maximum breeze and comfort!), the concerts draw hundreds of people to the lawn of St. Simons Island Lighthouse for one of the most pleasant and entertaining evenings you can spend in the Golden Isles.
All concerts are from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children 6-12, and free for kids under 6. Bring a chair or blanket to relax on, a picnic summer, your favorite beverage – and of course, all your friends for the high-tide event that’s become a Golden Isles tradition.
