World Grits Festival

Hardly the most popular dish on the planet, grits (a maize porridge) is nonetheless a staple of Southern culture and this festival aims to increase its popularity. The town of St George is proud of its grits and consumes so much of it that in 1985, this festival began in honour of the tasteless maize dish. Events at the festival include the obligatory grits eating competition as well as corn tossing, live music and DJ's.

Venue: St. George

Date: 12 - 14 April 2013
