Aloha, y'all.

Tonight’s the night!

Join us in Downtown Beaufort for First Friday: Lowcountry Luau from 5–8 PM. Stroll through downtown, explore your favorite local shops, enjoy live music, discover local art, and grab a bite from one of our amazing restaurants—all with a tropical twist.

Whether you’re shopping, dining, or just soaking up the atmosphere, there’s no better way to kick off the weekend than supporting the businesses that make downtown Beaufort such a special place.

See you on Bay Street tonight! 🌺🍍🌴
