A Re-Enactment of the Famous Sandbar Fight!
Famous historian, Jack Edmonson portrays Col. James Bowie as he relates the details of the fight that made the man and the Bowie Knife famous. Local actors and re-enactors portray the actual participants in the duel and the fight.
Fun For Everyone!
Vendors! Click here for information and application.
There's food, fun rides for the kids, arts & crafts booths, plus some great events you'll not want to miss! (see the schedule for details.)
Live Music, Barbeque contests, and the DARE Kids Fishing Tournament are just some of the excitement of the Jim Bowie Festival.
Applications
Changes are planned for the 2010 Jim Bowie Festival. The professional barbeque competition known as the Bowie BBQ Duel will most likely move to another date to be announced later. We will not be able to accept cooking competition applications until those plans have been finalized.
These changes are for the good of the competition as well as for the festival, and we look forward to them as progress is made to create two successful events in Vidalia. Vendors may still apply to be part of the festival, but we are still in the planning stages, so dates and prices may change accordingly.
