Beaufort’s Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade
2024-01-15 10:00 | Downtown Beaufort, Bay Street, Beaufort, SC, United States
Beaufort City and County offices will be closed on Monday, January 15th, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, as it is a Federal Holiday.
A parade honoring Dr. King is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Monday. It will proceed from Adventure Street, along Boundary to Carteret, Bay and Bladen streets. It is sponsored by the Beaufort Ministerial Alliance.
On Monday January 15, 2024 from 10am to 2pm, Reconstruction Era National Historical Park invites the public to mark the Martin Luther King, Jr Day of Service by volunteering on a trail cleanup project along the Capers Creek Nature Trail in the historic Penn Center National Historic Landmark District on St. Helena Island.
MLK Day of Service is a defining moment in volunteerism, as Americans across the country step up to make communities more equitable and take action to build the Beloved Community of Dr. King’s dream.
While Dr. King believed this community was possible, he acknowledged and fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action at NPS sites around the nation on this federally designated day of service.
Volunteers will meet at 10 am at Darrah Hall and work along the Capers Creek Nature Trail, which was restored and reopened as part of last year’s MLK Day of Service. This trail connects Darrah Hall to the Retreat House, which was constructed by Penn Center in the late 1960s to accommodate Dr. King and other leaders who came here on planning retreats.
Tools will be provided, and volunteers are encouraged to wear long sleeves and closed-toe shoes.

4th Annual Beaufort Oyster Festival
2024-01-20 10:00 - 18:00, 2024-01-21 11:00 - 16:00 | Henry C Chambers Waterfront Park, Beaufort, SC, US
The annual Beaufort Oyster Festival is coming up this weekend. And, fittingly, just like you can’t eat oysters until the colder months, this weekend is going to be one of the coldest that we’ve experienced in the past year.
The event is set for Saturday, January 20th and Sunday, January 21st in Downtown Beaufort, SC at the popular Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, and it includes a bit of everything for everyone.
But, if you plan to attend the free event, you’ll need to consider bundling up.
Saturday’s high temperature in Beaufort will be around 45°, with a low of 24°. Sunday’s high will be 44°, with a low of 31°.
The event opens with a 5K, appropriately named the “Oyster Boogie,” through the streets of historic downtown, and the festival offers free admission, live music and lots more.
Saturday, January 20th 10am-6pm
Live Music from 4 local bands all day long.
10am – 12th Street
12pm – Southbound 17
2pm – The Boondockers
4pm – Shan Tan & The Oyster Reefers
Sunday, January 21st 11am-4pm
Live Music from 2 local bands all day long.
11am – Campfire Tyler
1pm – The Fabulous Clams
Cornhole Tournament – 1pm
Bring your own partner double elimination cornhole tournament to support the kids at Riverview Charter School. Minimum 20 teams participating. There will also be a second chance tournament for any team that goes 0-2.
Over 15 local organizations will also be on hand to help you learn about oysters, their history, oyster shell recycling, and the sustainability of oysters in our local aquaculture. Plus, you can even sign up for an Oyster Festival Eco-Tour with Coastal Expeditions.
On both days, the Beaufort Oyster Festival menu options will include steamed, raw, roasted and fried oysters, as well as other food options for those that love a festival but don’t love oysters, which are definitely an acquired taste.
All oysters served at the festival are all locally farmed or harvested from local Lowcountry waters, lending support to area fishermen and the Lowcountry way of life.
One of the things you’ll notice about the Lowcountry is how much we enjoy having fun. Locals enjoy sharing a good time with our neighbors, and proof of that is the wealth of community festivals hosted each and every year.
In an area with so much history and tradition, we celebrate everything from the water, to food, to our lifestyle and our culture.
And, this weekend’s Oyster Festival fits right in!
The massive two-day Oyster Festival is a celebration of community and the bounty of the sea. Two things very near to the heart of folks that call the Lowcountry their home.

About Idiot Men
“Scott Gould is a literary shapeshifter. A rough Southern man who writes about trucks, beer, dogs and doublewides with the finesse of a poet. Idiot Men is like the best country song you have ever heard. His writing breaks your heart but makes you rejoice that you are still alive to recover.”–Jane Stern, author of Ambulance Girl
With Strangers to Temptation, Things that Crash, Things that Fly, and The Hammerhead Chronicles, Scott Gould cemented his reputation as one of the most inventive, distinctive voices of Southern literature. In his latest collection, Idiot Men, he once again gathers a cast of unforgettable characters in eleven stories chock full of exceptional storylines and hilarious writing.
You’ll meet a trucker driver whose wife flees to Jamaica with her lover, leaving him to babysit her hairless tomcat, Princess Di; a male nurse who discovers a trailer full of counterfeit NASCAR paraphernalia during a home health visit; an amateur arsonist sentenced to a year in a Smokey the Bear suit; a disgruntled roofer with a bad back and a meth-dealing twin brother… these are just a few of the idiot men you’ll encounter in a collection of stories that will appeal to readers who relish literature with a Southern flavor.
Gould’s Idiot Men provides the stage for wayward characters who make poor choices in life and love against a backdrop of elegant prose. These tales recalibrate morality and convention as readers will grow to love the characters despite-and perhaps because of-their flaws. These diverse, rich stories are ultimately connected by the spellbinding voice of a true Southern storyteller.
About Author Scott Gould
Scott Gould is the author of five books, including The Hammerhead Chronicles, winner of the Eric Hoffer Award for Fiction, and Things That Crash, Things That Fly, which won a 2022 Memoir Prize for Books. Other honors include a Next Generation Indie Book Award, an IPPY Award for Fiction, the Larry Brown Short Story Award and the S.C. Arts Commission Artist Fellowship in Prose. Gould’s latest book is the story collection, Idiot Men. His work has appeared in Kenyon Review, Black Warrior Review, Pangyrus, New Ohio Review, Crazyhorse, Pithead Chapel, Vessel, Garden & Gun, and New Stories from the South, among others. He teaches at the S.C. Governor’s School for the Arts & Humanities in Greenville, S.C.
About Interviewer Mindy Friddle
Mindy Friddle is author of the novel, Secret Keepers, (winner of the Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction). The Garden Angel, her first novel and SIBA bestseller, was selected for Barnes & Noble’s Discover Great New Writers. The South Carolina Arts Commission awarded Mindy a prose fellowship, and she has twice won the state’s Fiction Prize. Mindy’s third novel, Her Best Self, will be published in May.
