Get ready for some fun again in the middle of the Beaufort River because the summertime blast on the sandbar is returning for another day of incredible live music. After being canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19, 2021’s edition was a good one, and now the Beaufort Sandbar Concert is returning to the Intra-Coastal Waterway once again.
On Saturday, July 16th, country music artist Pat Cooper is headlining another big show at the sandbar and will be bringing along other singer/songwriters with him. This summer’s fun will include performer Naomi Marchant opening the show.
As always, the Beaufort Sandbar concert is completely free and open to the public…but it is only accessible by boat. Organizers (and Pat Cooper) are expecting a 1pm starting time for the show, based on high tide coming, with the concert to end a couple of hours later, before the tide comes in.
The first sandbar concert was 7 years ago, but it was canceled once, making this the 6th event. For the past several years, the concert on a borrowed barge in the water has been a huge hit drawing a big crowd that easily numbers in the thousands.
It’s events just like this one that help make Beaufort the awesome little town that it is.
Bring on summer.
