St. George’s has so much to offer and with the Olde Towne Market open, the town will be all a buzz with activity. In addition to shopping there will be opportunities to enjoy delicious local fare at East End restaurants, so we are enthusiastically encouraging folks to head east on Saturday to enjoy the festivities.”
