Last year the festival featured games like the Watermelon Weiner Dog Derby, the Watermelon Relay Races, Seed Spitting Competitions, Watermelon Eating Competitions, Watermelon Growing Classes, Mullet Competition, Baby Watermelon Crawl Contests, and so many others.

This year's festival will feature all of that and some. It will also feature American Idol Winner Laine Hardy and Kylie Frey in concert headlining on Friday and Saturday nights. Mixed in there will also be singing competitions for local kids and adults!
