70th Beaufort Water Festival scheduled this weekend at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park
Summary
The 70th annual Beaufort Water Festival includes an airshow meet-and-greet, a bedrace at Bay and Harrington, an 18+ evening concert "Rockin' the River," and a Sunday blessing of the fleet; organizers published a full schedule and ticketing at bftwaterfestival.com.
Organizers said the 70th annual Beaufort Water Festival will take place this weekend at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park with a lineup of daytime activities and evening entertainment. Friday activities include a daytime meet-and-greet with airshow pilots at Buford Executive Airport and a bedrace at Bay and Harrington; the weekend closes with a Sunday blessing of the fleet and a parade of boats.
The program noted Rockin' the River is an 18-plus event headlined by acoustic act Chris Jones opening for the Hot Red Chili Peppers tribute act, and Saturday features the water festival grama parade, nonprofit expo, and the commodore ball. A full daily schedule, including ticket links, is available at bftwaterfestival.com.
Why it matters: the festival is a long-running community tradition with tourism and local-business implications for the waterfront and downtown event areas.
