Auston Chase Apartment Homes

Tomorrow is the official start of this year's Beaufort Water Festival. And it is just in time. Some of the hottest weather of the summer has hit South Carolina. If you live in an apartment in Ridgeland, SC, you have probably spent some time in the pool and even more time trying to figure out other ways to stay cool.

Here is a great way to beat the heat this weekend. Tomorrow is the official start of the 56th annual celebration of music, food, art, and “just about anything fun you can do on the water” at The Beaufort Water Festival.

The Opening Ceremony is July 15 at 7, but gates open at 6pm. The ceremony features the Parris Island Marine Band and a spectacular fireworks Show at dusk. Free admission.

Saturday, July 16th is the raft race, bocce tournament, art and craft market, kids toad fishing, all kinds of boat tours, a sailing regatta, ski show, and concert in the park. Plus, much more.

Just some of the fun on Sunday, July 17th offers boat bingo, boat tours, a teen dance, and the continued sailing regatta.

But the fun continues through next Sunday. So be sure to check it out. Come and cool down at the Beaufort Water Festival. The apartment pool will still be there in August!
