For more than a few decades, the community has gathered each Spring in the Waterfront Park for A Taste of Beaufort Festival. The annual event celebrates Beaufort’s best dining options with amazing menu concoctions, music, arts, and culture that make the Lowcountry special.
The traditional festival format will feature live music, a crafts market, sponsor booths, beer and wine vendors, family activities, and, of course, plenty of delicious food dishes to cater to all tastes. Total attendance for this free, two-day event routinely tops 10,000 people. Organizers expect a record crowd with locals and visitors eager for a festival experience.
