Ninth Annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival
2024-11-01 09:00 - 2024-11-02 20:30 | Beaufort, South Carolina
“I was born to be in a library,” wrote beloved and bestselling author Pat Conroy (1945-2016) in his book My Reading Life. Hosted by the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center, this year’s Pat Conroy Literary Festival will pay special tribute to the vital work of librarians in championing the welcoming world of books, stories, and storytellers. The Conroy Festival will be held in Beaufort on November 1 and 2, with the Conroy Center also open to the public for tours on October 31 and November 3.
Now in its ninth year, the Conroy Festival is a popular destination event with literary tourists visiting from across the country as well as for local readers, writers, educators, and students of all ages. With a robust schedule of free and ticketed educational and enrichment programs, this year’s festival will include author conversations and readings, panel discussions, writers workshops, book signings, musical performances, guided tours, a film screening, and a read-aloud for children and their families.
Featured presenters include New York Times bestselling authors Kwame Alexander (Black Star), Kirsten Miller (Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books), Raj Haldar (This Book Is Banned), and Cassandra King (Tell Me a Story), as well as Reese’s Book Club author DéLana R.A. Dameron (Redwood Court). A lively panel discussion with Southern women mystery authors will include Agatha Award-winning and USA Today bestselling novelist Susan M. Boyer (The Liz Talbot Mysteries), Alicia Bessette (The Outer Banks Bookshop Mysteries), and Kristen Ness (At Loggerheads), with a special appearance by Gallery Books vice president and executive editor Carrie Feron.
High school and college student volunteers from DAYLO: Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization will host a read-aloud for young readers and their families at the Port Royal Farmers Market. A Freedom to Read panel discussion, moderated by intellectual freedom champion Pat R. Scales, will feature youth advocates and librarian advocates who have been instrumental in local, regional, and national responses to education censorship. The festival will also include a private pre-screening (open to festival attendees with advance registration) of the new feature-length documentary film Banned Together, prefaced by a tribute to librarians and followed by a discussion with producers Tom and Jenn Wiggin. A celebratory musical performance by the famed Beaufort Mass Choir and a reception catered by Debbi Covington at the Conroy Center will conclude this year’s festival.
To the benefit of writers, the Conroy Festival will also host a quartet of workshops on poetry, prose writing, and publication, led by Tim Conroy, Susan Madison, Valerie Sayers, Sean Scapellato, John Warley, and Chad Rhoad.
The ninth annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival is made possible by the generous support and collaboration of the Robert S. Handler Charitable Trust, the South Carolina Arts Commission, Bank of America Private Bank, and others.

2024-11-03 10:00 - 15:00 | Henry C Chambers Waterfront Park, Beaufort, SC, US
It’s almost time to get some good books without dipping too deep into the wallet as the Friends of the Beaufort Library will hold its Annual Fall Book Sale on November 1st through the 3rd, at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort.
At the sale, over 40,000 gently used books, music, movies and audio books will be available for sale at bargain prices with hardbacks a mere $2 and most paperbacks selling at 50 cents each.
All sorts of books will be at the sale from cooking and gardening to the occult and metaphysical. Fiction and mystery are the largest and most popular categories and rare and collectible books include a large selection of local Lowcountry authors and topics.
On Friday, November 1st, a private sale for all members of the Friends will be held early in the day. If you’re interested in becoming a member, you can sign up any time before or during the pre-sale to gain access to the pre-sale for only $25 per household, and only $15 if you are a military household.
The Friends of the Beaufort Library annual book sale will open to the general public on Friday, November 1st from 11am to 8pm, and will reopen on Saturday from 9am to 6pm. The book sale will reopen from 10am to 3pm on Sunday, during which time ALL books and audio-visual items will be half-price, including the big selection of rare and collectible books.

Get there early
This is an extraordinarily popular event proving that books are not obsolete. Book lovers of all stripes show up to scavenge for their favorites, some grabbing up 10 books at a time, so you need to get there early for the best possible selection.
The first Friends of the Beaufort Library book sale in 1987 produced $900 in book sales. Now, this fundraiser generates half the Friends of the Beaufort Library’s total income which goes right back to the Library itself.

Fort Fremont Harvest Festival
2024-11-03 13:00 - 16:00 | Fort Fremont Preserve, 1124 Lands End Road, St, Helena Island, SC, 29920, United States
The Friends of Fort Fremont are excited to announce the 2nd Annual Fort Fremont Harvest
Festival on Sunday, November 3 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the Fort Fremont Preserve, 1124
Land’s End Road, St. Helena Island, SC.
Visitors are invited to step back in time to 1910…with period games for children and adults,
music, food, crafts, and people dressed in era-appropriate costumes welcoming visitors to
Edwardian Fort Fremont.
There is no admission fee. Food and crafts will be available for purchase.
Free shuttle service will be provided from Land’s End Woodlands Road, just one mile from the Preserve.
This year’s event is bigger and better than last year. There will be more favorite local food
vendors, more history displays from area non-profits including a demonstration on the Carolina rice culture, and more hands-on activities such as decorating your own hat and making corn husk dolls.
There may even be an appearance by the famous Fort Fremont baseball team.
Fort Fremont was constructed in 1898 during the Spanish-American War for coastal defense of the Port Royal Sound and the Naval Station at Parris Island. Beaufort County purchased 18-acres of the original fort for use as a passive park. The site encompasses mixed hardwood forest with walking trails, a picnic pavilion, remains of historic batteries, and a History Center with a diorama and period artifacts.
The Preserve is open to the public free of charge Monday through Sunday from dawn to dusk. The History Center exhibit hall is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and staffed by Friends of Fort Fremont volunteers.
The Friends of Fort Fremont work with Beaufort County to preserve and promote Fort Fremont’s educational, historical, natural, and cultural resources and to interpret Fort Fremont’s history for visitors. For more information visit www.fortfremont.org.
