Tybee Island Gears Up for Weekend Beach Bash

Tybee Island is preparing for another beach party, the Peach Fest, after the Orange Crush event last weekend. The organizers are expecting around 2,000 people, a smaller crowd than the 50,000 seen last weekend. The city is increasing its police and emergency personnel presence on the island, and traffic controls will be in place on US Highway 80/Butler Avenue. Some locals were upset about the Orange Crush festivities, but a visitor hopes the celebration this weekend is a fun and safe one.
