Every year since 1987, Tybee Island has had a Beach Bum parade, traditionally held in May the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. The parade route comes down Tybee's main road, Butler Avenue, and when parade floats come by onlookers have been known to shoot each other with water guns.<ref>Savannah Now, August 19, 2010. http://savannahnow.com/do/2010-05-19/annual-beach-bum-parade-tybee-island-friday {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328165759/http://savannahnow.com/do/2010-05-19/annual-beach-bum-parade-tybee-island-friday |date=March 28, 2012 }}</ref>

Tybee Island was formerly home to "Orange Crush," an annual beach party attracting thousands of students from historically Black colleges and universities. The 2019 event was canceled after an organizer was arrested, and future events were moved to [[Jacksonville Beach, Florida]], with organizers citing "lack of resources, limited parking, civil rights violations, and political injustices."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cawthon |first1=Graham |title=No more Orange Crush?
