Beaufort Shrimp Festival

Shrimp Festival

The Beaufort Shrimp Festival is set for October 3-4, 2008 in historic downtown Beaufort. Plenty of shrimp will make this 14th annual event unforgettable.

See shrimp peeling contest underway in photograph above and view slide show on this page, photographed by Joslynn Jones, for a brief overview of festival activities in 2007.

The event opens with a free concert in the park Friday evening and includes a run and walk Saturday morning. Then the festival continues with free music, entertainment for kids, peeling contests and plenty of shrimp to eat. Enjoy local recipes and tastings from a dozen restaurants or buy it fresh off the boat from the local shrimpers to cook your own at home. Limited non-shrimp alternative foods are available.
