RICHMOND HILL, Ga. (WTOC) - In just about a month from now, the 24th annual Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival is set to take place in Bryan County.

It’s something that locals and visitors look forward to every year... the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival.

The event kicks off on Friday, October 20 and goes through the weekend until Sunday the 22nd.

Folks with the Richmond Hill Bryan County Chamber of Commerce say so much preparation goes into this because it’s the biggest event the county sees all year.

Throughout the festival, there will be live entertainment from various performers, and of course, lots of seafood.
