A Taste of Beaufort Festival: What you need to know
This year’s Taste of Beaufort will stay true to the tradition of being a fun-filled weekend featuring great food, music, entertainment, art & crafts, Saturday morning 5K run/walk and more! Join us for this delicious Lowcountry affair and get a taste of some of the best that Beaufort has to offer!
Each year, there’s a foodie’s delight in downtown’s Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park with the Taste of Beaufort festival. Imagine it: lots of Beaufort’s best dining options, serving up their best menu concoctions in the midst of downtown’s premier spot, with incredible music, community fellowship and fun. This year’s festival will include an additional bite – a series of intimate music performances hosted by various venues within Beaufort’s Cultural District in downtown. The series will kick off Friday with a free lunch and listen jazz performance at 11:30am on the lawn of USCB’s Center for the Arts. Musical guests from Charleston will be featured during the Saturday line up and the series will conclude with another free concert at 1st Presbyterian Church on Sunday May 5th.
When you go this weekend, you’ll be one of the usual crowd of thousands who do, expect a few days of fun. With nice weather for Friday evening and a very warm 83° day on Saturday, it’ll be a great time downtown.
