A Complete Guide to Enjoying the Beaufort Water Festival

Wherever you are in the state of South Carolina you've probably heard the word ' water festival.' Every year about this time and up until late July locals to Beaufort County and the state begin scrambling to find accommodations and someone with a boat to get out on the water. After all, it's always better to have a friend with a boat, than to actually own a boat. The Beaufort Water Festival is a unique event that year after year draws large crowds to one of our favorite southern towns. For more than six decades, the Water Festival has drummed up much anticipation due to its popularity and ability to put on a good time for everyone. So, whether you want to experience all that is available on land, the sandbar party, or a little bit of both you will leave with an experience unlike any other!

Scheduled Events in Waterfront Park

The activities at Waterfront Park range from vendors selling amazing local food to nightly entertainment that serves as the perfect backdrop to any low country night. The event kicks off with the Parris Island Marine band playing at dusk and fireworks at the end of the night. The rest of the week, bands from all over the Lowcountry and coastal empire perform for the crowd and can be heard on and off the water.
