Beaufort Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony
2023-05-29 10:00 (America/New_York)
The annual Beaufort Memorial Day Parade is back, scheduled for Monday, May 29th at 10am.
The parade will follow the traditional route along Boundary Street from Rogers Street, onto Carteret Street, Bay Street and then back to Rogers Street ending at the Beaufort National Cemetery.
At noon, a ceremony to commemorate all those in the military who lost their lives in service to our Country will be held at the Beaufort National Ceremony with a keynote speaker.
Memorial Day is for honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military fighting for our liberty and freedom.
It’s not a day for celebrating. It’s a day for remembering.
Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.
All are encouraged to come to Beaufort’s Memorial Day parade and honor those that have fallen for our Country.
If you are interested in participating, please call 843-263-4620.

The Women’s Camping Weekend commemorates the anniversary of the Combahee Ferry Raid. “On June 2, 1863, Harriet Tubman, under the command of Union Colonel James Montgomery, became the first woman to lead a major military operation in the United States when she and 150 African American Union soldiers rescued more than 700 slaves in the Combahee Ferry Raid during the Civil War.” This weekend event is designed for women to experience nature and outdoor recreation with like-minded ladies in a non-competitive environment. It will also serve as a reminder of the women who served in the Beaufort District during the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era to aid the war effort, abolish slavery, support freed and contraband Blacks and as teachers, nurses, laundresses, and cooks. These women include Harriet Tubman abolitionist, conductor of the Underground RailRoad, Union Army Civilian attache’, Dr. Esther Hill Hawks medical doctor, teacher, Rachel C. Mather founder of the Mather School for Negro Girls, Susie Baker King teacher, laundress, nurse, Charlotte Forten Grimke’ teacher, journalist, hospital volunteer, Laura M. Towne and Ellen Murray were founders of the Penn School.
The Women’s Camping Weekend event provides an opportunity for women to become more comfortable in the outdoors, participate in recreational activities, and discover ways to protect and create more natural spaces. Hiking, kayaking and a wildlife field trip are a few of the activities for the weekend.

Street Music In Port Royal With The Boneshakers
2023-06-03 18:00 | Paris Avenue in Port Royal, Paris Avenue, Port Royal, SC, 29935, United States
Bring a chair, a cooler and wear your favorite dancing shoes because Street Music is back on Paris Avenue in Port Royal on Saturday, June 3rd, with a free, live performance by The Boneshakers…and an evening of no-holds-barred funk, blues and rock.
About the Band

“In 2022, as The Boneshakers celebrated the 25th anniversary of their first release, a new energy and excitement emerged. Producer John Wooler, who originally signed The Boneshakers in 1997, connected Randy and incredible vocalist Jenny Langer- a powerhouse singer who was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame (NYC and VA) at the age of 28 and won the 2020 Int’l Blues Challenge for Best Self-Produced Album. What started as a few tracks for her project quickly morphed in a new album with The Boneshakers featuring no-holds-barred funk, blues, and rock that marries the sounds and spirits of Detroit Rock City, Memphis, and Mussel Shoals.

Produced by Wooler, it is back to the original vision of The Boneshakers fiery sound, with the vocal dynamo Jenny Langer behind the mic and original musicians from “The Book Of Spells” Sergio Gonzales (Drums), Nathan Brown (Bass), Jon Gilutin (Keys), The Texacali Horns (Joe Sublett, Mark Pender, and Randy’s former band mate from Was (Not Was) Sir Harry Bowens on vocals.

The new album One Foot In the Groove was released on Take It To The Bridge Records in Fall 2022 and immediately hit #1 on UK Blues Charts and #1 on US Soul Blues Charts. According to Blues Matters Magazine, “This is an album that every blues, funk, and soul music lover needs in their collection.”
