Celebrate Easter and preview 30A’s newest family-friendly destination, The Hub, located in front of the resort communities of Prominence and WaterSound Beach.

Festivities include live music from The Jazz Ensemble featuring David Ott, a visit from the Easter Bunny and the chance to sample menu items from The Hub’s line-up of new restaurants. The celebration is Sunday, April 5, from 1 – 3 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Scheduled to open in May 2015, The Hub will be the ultimate gathering spot for 30A locals and guests with restaurants, shopping, a 2,000-square-foot stage with a 25-foot Jumbotron, an events lawn and a covered pavilion.

The Hub restaurants will include Mile Marker Fifteen, Crave Roadside Burgers, Red’s Chicken Shack and Mr. Freeze, all led by Executive Chef Nickolaus Walton. In addition, Hughey’s General Store will provide a perfect spot to pick up souvenirs, gifts and staples. The Hub will offer regularly scheduled free, fun events including concerts, movies and sporting-event broadcasts.

“We’re thrilled to invite the public into The Hub for this special preview to experience what we’ll be bringing to the 30A community with this new venture,” said Jay Etheredge, Vice President of Operations at Comer Woodford Hospitality Group. “Bring your friends and family by for a fun-filled afternoon.”
