Bluffton festival all about boiled peanuts

The world’s largest boiled peanut will be in Bluffton on September 24th. Oh, and there’s a pretty cool festival going on, too.

The Historic Bluffton Foundation & The Heritage Peanut Company will present the 12th Annual Bluffton Boiled Peanut Festival on Saturday, September 24th from 12:00-6:00 pm on Common Ground at the Heyward House in Downtown Bluffton.

The festival features all you can eat boiled peanuts, live music, a boiled peanut cook-off, a peanut eating contest, food vendors and the World’s Largest Boiled Peanut on display for all to see.

The highlight of the event, the boiled peanut cook-off, brings some of the finest boiled peanut purveyors in all the land together for the coveted title of “Best Nuts in Town”. The 2022 categories include traditional, spicy and creative.

Come out and enjoy music from The Horan Brothers Band. Admission is $15.00 per adult, which includes all you can eat peanuts, and children 10 and under are free. Beer, wine, soft drinks, and water will be available for purchase and food vendors will also be on site.
