Hello, I'm Todd Stowe, and I'm honored to lead this year's Beaufort Water Festival alongside a dedicated team of change-makers and supporters! Together, we're igniting a celebration of Beaufort's vibrant spirit in July, where community connection and collective joy take center stage.
Our festival is a testament to the transformative power of collaboration, and we're grateful for the vision and generosity of our sponsors, who empower us to create unforgettable experiences, from thrilling entertainment to inspiring arts and crafts, for all ages and interests.
Each year, local and national businesses, along with philanthropic partners, come together to fuel the festival's growth and impact. We're thrilled to unite our community this summer, as we have since 1956, with a diverse range of activities that inspire and delight! Our schedule is carefully crafted to ensure a unique experience each night and fun-filled weekends that leave a lasting impression.
None of this would be possible without the support of our amazing sponsors, who believe in the potential of our community. With their continued partnership, the Beaufort Water Festival shines a spotlight on local and national talent, celebrating creativity and diversity. So, please take a moment to visit our sponsor page and express your appreciation for our local businesses!
I'd also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our incredible volunteers and civic organizations, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to bring this vision to life. As the plaque at the Waterfront Park so beautifully states, “There is nothing more caring, giving and willing than the heart of a volunteer,” and it is true.
“Blue Skies & Starry Nights” will be here before you know it and we hope you will join us when we celebrate all our community has to offer!
Sincerely,
