Description

Among Jim’s many contributions to the community, the annual SwampWriter Music Festival at Stinky’s Bait Shack stands out as a beacon of cultural celebration. Held every January over Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend, this five-day festival is a free, saltwater-soaked celebration of local and regional musical talent.

Now entering its 15th year, the SwampWriter Music Festival captures the spirit of “Old School 30A,” offering an accessible and authentic experience for music lovers. More than a dozen musicians perform on the iconic stage at Stinky’s Bait Shack, a venue that blends the charm of a dive bar with the soul of a music hall.
