Since a couple of local Tybee Island softball teams had a little fun in 1987, and the waterlogged tradition continues, Tybee’s annual Beach Bum Parade is “the south’s largest water fight”!

Thousands of people will be up on Butler Avenue in anticipation of floats driving by and soaking them with water as they spray right back. It is a family-friendly event focused on fun.

Everyone, young or old, gets to act like a kid.
