The obvious attractions of Hilton Head and the surrounding Lowcountry -golf, the beach, dining, tennis or just plain relaxing – can be well supplemented with the numerous area events and festivals occurring in the Fall.
Port Royal’s October Festival, Oct 20th, is a delightful area festival just North of the Broad River. The main street, Paris Avenue, will be lined with vendors, live music, antique cars and organized activities for all ages.
The Activities include:
- Kitties Corner – Face painting, a moon bounce and an interactive D.J.
- Contests – The Juried Art Show will exhibit locals works by both adults and K-12 graders with prizes awarded. Hula Hoop contest for kids and adults.
Ten area restaurants will be serving regional favorites as well as soft drinks, beer and wine and colorful snow cones. A local bake sale will offer homemade-style sweets and pastries as well as regional farmers offering cider and pumpkins.
The Highlight of the event must be considered the Classic Rag-top car show. The Beaufort Car Club gathers once a month, but they save the biggest event for the October Festival. The show offers classic car lovers the chance to get an up close look at some of the best convertible in the Lowcountry. The show concludes with a judges and prizes
The Port Royal October Festival is just one of the wonderful area events this fall, and a fun time for all ages.

Thank you for the heads up about this festival. I am definitely going to go and check it out. I am a Vermont transplant, fairly new to region, and always looking for interesting photographic opportunities. This should be a good one.
