Amelia Island Serving Up Inaugural “Dining Month” in September

This September, residents and visitors to Amelia Island can get their fill of sun, sea, and seasonings – and give back to the community – during the inaugural “Amelia Island Dining Month” (Sep. 1-30). Twenty-four of the island’s favorite restaurants will be offering prix fixe dinners for either $35 or $55 all month long, showcasing the destination’s diverse culinary talent and burgeoning food scene. To make it extra sweet, all participating restaurants are pledging $1 from every order to the Barnabas Center, which provides help and hope to Nassau County residents, to improve their stability, health, and well-being.

“With the introduction of Dining Month, we’re creating yet another reason to visit in September, one of the best times to enjoy Amelia Island’s wide-open beaches, fantastic weather, and unique Florida charm,” said Gil Langley, President of the Amelia Island Convention & Visitor’s Bureau. “There has never been a better time to discover the island’s highly regarded and surprisingly innovative dining scene, with the added benefit of supporting a worthwhile charity.”
