Tybee Island Mermaid Festival 2018

[TybeeMermaid]

I have fintastic news! The Savannah Pride (https://www.pridesavannah.com/) Organization (Savannah, Georgia) reached out to me because they're planning a mermaid festival on Tybee Island. I will already be going as a mermaid for their event but I mentioned other mermaids might be interested in coming too.


Would anyone else like to join me and hang out on Tybee Island as the event mermaids?


You will be promoted by Savannah Pride (https://www.pridesavannah.com/) and are allowed to advertise yourself at the event. (bringing a sign with your information, handing out business cards, etc.)


The event will take place Saturday, March 24th on Tybee Island, GA at the pier (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tybee+Beach+Pier+and+Pavilion/@31.9919657,-80.8486397,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88f8bf8d64999a0f:0xeca9b be0320087eb!8m2!3d31.9919657!4d-80.8464457). (time has yet to be determined) They did confirm that they will provide a tent and I have a decent amount of mermaid decorations to decorate the tent. (but anyone is welcome to bring more decorations!)


Please let me know if you would like to attend as soon as possible! They would like to start putting together advertising material and the sooner they receive confirmations, the better.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Serious inquiries only! If you'd like to attend but are unsure if you will actually be able to, just make sure to mention it. I'd love to have a bunch of us there but I need a realistic number so we'll know what to expect.

If you are seriously considering coming, I've compiled a list of hotels under $200 on (or near) Tybee Island. These are hotels that I have personally seen and know they are good.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hotels within walking distance of the festival on Tybee Island.

Hotel Tybee: (https://www.priceline.com/stay/search/details/4411305/20180323/20180325/1?returnUrl=%2Fstay%2Fsearch%2Fhotels%2F3000003961 %2F20180323%2F20180325%2F1%3Fmap%26page%3D1&pclnId=8A35245AAB6C2C509A991F489B2AA7352A716A1C346 A59C6221A9FC9A70398FB3C125A79F0A79A8CA355037D4C385 6E39D2C401B9E4753B84EB55381B03A94E4) $179
It's right next to the pier and is probably the most convenient place to stay. It's got 2 pools, a restaurant, balconies for every room, free wi-fi, cable TV, microwave, and a small refrigerator. It's also right on the beach!

Sea and Breeze Hotel and Condo: (https://www.priceline.com/stay/search/details/2335105/20180323/20180325/1?returnUrl=%2Fstay%2Fsearch%2Fhotels%2F3000003961 %2F20180323%2F20180325%2F1%3Fmap%26page%3D1&pclnId=5D72A4199212B09768314508F9D63A9978D326A1EFB 99A6BD58A3ED23EC0FAAA8CF834822440B9A12F7C38685F35A 6489D2C401B9E4753B8A65455793183289A) $141
This place is also super close to the pier. It's pretty cute too! It's got a pool, free wi-fi, microwave, small refrigerator, and cable TV.

Atlantis Inn: (https://www.priceline.com/stay/search/details/30209704/20180323/20180325/1?returnUrl=%2Fstay%2Fsearch%2Fhotels%2F3000003961 %2F20180323%2F20180325%2F1%3Fmap%26page%3D1&pclnId=FEDA36B8C8056362ECD954F7BACC2D89FAADDD7156B 93BE47ED530D0E4EE9A4673438CB80A0C7B61FC9CF67C9DF88 30DEE5790C589096DD60F2D865F76C56F5B408E232E179DAC6 F) $122
It's a pretty small hotel but it's also within walking distance to the pier. They've got free wi-fi, cable TV, a microwave, small refrigerator, and a free continental breakfast every morning. The rooms are also individually decorated and unique to one another. (There's also a mermaid painting on the building!)

It's located in the East end of Downtown Historic Savannah and pretty close to River Street and the City Market. It's about a 20-minute drive to Tybee Island from the hotel. It's got a heated pool, fitness center, and free wi-fi. If you plan on staying longer than the festival and want to check out Savannah, I highly recommend this place. It's probably the cheapest hotel you can find in the downtown area.
