WHO IS FERNANDINA BEACH MAIN STREET

Fernandina Beach Main Street Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to promoting economic vitality and preserving the historic charm of our beloved Fernandina Beach business district. As our vibrant district has grown to include three outstanding local craft brewers First Love Brewing, Mocama Beer Company, and Amelia Island Brewing Company, we knew it was time to raise a glass to something big. We created our signature annual fundraiser, a craft beer festival that celebrates community, creativity, and, of course, some seriously good brews.

The Island Hop Craft Beer and Spirit Fest will help us fund important programs that preserve the character of our historic district and support the businesses that call it home.
