Menus & deals for upcoming Beaufort Oyster Festival Restaurant Week. Take a look
The annual Beaufort Oyster Festival – Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands is back, combining good food and drink with events that focus on education, culture and tradition revolving around South Carolina’s Lowcountry oysters.
Created by the Beaufort Area Hospitality Association, the festival strives to attract both locals and visitors to the Sea Islands to indulge in oysters and other local cuisine while learning about the agri-tourism economy and other aspects of Lowcountry culture, including historical, architectural, ecological, agricultural, culinary, artisan and more.
The festival begins with Tides to Tables and concludes with the Beaufort Oyster Festival at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park Jan. 17 and 18.
Now in its sixth year, Tides to Tables Restaurant Week kicks off on Jan. 9 with prix fixe dining options and special offerings through Jan. 18. Note that prices generally do not include beverages or a tip for your server. Hours may also vary depending on the restaurant or require reservations.
