Get ready for lots of fun as the city has planned several free and family events at downtown’s Waterfront Park throughout the rest of 2023.

The City of Beaufort will sponsor free concerts and other entertainment offerings from once to twice a month at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park pavilion beginning in March. Most events, but not all,  will take place on Saturdays and the start times may vary.

This will kick off on Saturday, March 11, at 1:30 p.m. with a combined concert by the Parris Island Marine Band and the 282nd Army Band (Fort Jackson).

The 2023 lineup, which is subject to change:

March 11: Combined concert, Marine and Army bands
April 15: Lowcountry Symphony
May 17: Beaufort High School Band
May 21: Lowcountry Community Band
June 3: Beaufort Dance Academy
June 29: USCB Children’s Theater
Sept. 23: Sons of Maestro
Oct. 28: Halloween Movie in the Park
November (date to come): Combined Parris Island Marine Band and Navy Band
Dec. 9: Parris Island Marine Band Christmas Concert
Dec. 16: Savannah Ballet Theater production of “The Nutcracker”

The events are being organized by Andrea Hackenberger, downtown events coordinator for the City of Beaufort. Other entertainment will be confirmed later, she said.

“Our focus is to bring free educationally focused events to highlight the importance of the arts,” she said. “We have a lot of talent in Beaufort, and a beautiful outdoor venue at Waterfront Park to showcase that talent.”

We love events at Waterfront Park and we’re happy the city has decided to do this.
