45th Annual Grand Bay Watermelon Festival

From 45th Annual Grand Bay Watermelon Festival Website:

Y'all Come!

The annual celebration has a long and storied history, having begun during the earliest years of the 20th Century. As the community and surrounding area changed during World War II, the annual celebration was sporadic and then discontinued. It was revived in 1973 by the Grand Bay Jaycees. Currently, it is sponsored by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Grand Bay Lodge #73 and Martha Rebekah Lodge #29, and is held at Grand Bay Festival Park, 10327 Taylor F. Harper Blvd., north side of U.S. Highway 90 on the west side of Grand Bay.
