Live Like a Local: Mardi Gras on Tybee!

Leave a Comment / Live Like a Local /

     It’s that time again…time to say goodbye to the chilly temperatures of winter. What, you ask, is the best way to do that? Well, the only way Tybee does anything…throw a party!
     Join all of Tybee this weekend for the island’s 3rd Annual Mardi Gras celebration! This party will include all the traditions of Mardi Gras, an event that dates back to the ancient Romans. Tybee will be decked out in her finest for the occasion! The fun starts this Friday, March 3rd, with the Fantasy Masquerade Ball at Frannie’s on the Beach. Make sure to get your tickets and don your best glitz and glamor for this party! There will be prizes for the best dressed, not to mention the crowning of the king and queen!

     If you can’t make it Friday, no worries! The celebrations continue Saturday, March 4th. Join us for the Mardi Gras Parade at 1 pm down Butler Avenue, followed by a street party, free live music from great local bands, and a bazaar themed party at the pavilion until 6 pm.
     This amazing event is, of course, put on by the oh-so-awesome local non-profit group, Tybeefest. For more information on this and more up coming events, make sure to visit their website. Please, make plans to celebrate with all of us this weekend…Tybee’s Mardi Gras is a not-to-be-missed event!

Ahoy, Pups!  Dog Days on Tybee just got even better!  Announcing the newest dog friendly cottage in the Mermaid Cottages Collection: CRABBY JO’S!

Located just one house back from the south beach on 18th lane, this newly refurbished cottage is your perfect paradise to get Tybee-ized!

With wrap around porches and sweeping views of the south end, the ocean breezes will always welcome you at Crabby Jo’s!  The yard is not fenced in, but you’ll find quiet Tybee streets that beckon you to dog stroll and wander!

This circa 1930 vintage hideaway sleeps six comfortably, so it’s a special home for families or a cozy cottage getaway for a couple.  Loaded with all the Mermaid Cottages brand standards, you can enjoy WiFi and all the modern conveniences or  turn the world off and just lose yourself in beach walking, beach combing, ecology discoveries and some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets Tybee has to offer.

It’s also stocked with our famous Beach Bum Biscuits and our extraordinary Morning Bliss coffee service.  You’ll find the art of slowing down has never been easier.
