Activities

We are excited to announce that we will be celebrating the 43rd Annual St. George Island Charity Chili Cookoff on March 1st 2025!

As you may know, the Chili Cookoff is not just an awesome weekend on St. George Island, it’s also a VERY BIG portion of our SGIVFD budget and we must find a way to keep the fire department funded. Please consider attending these events or donating.
