Nearly a thousand people packed this year’s Military Appreciation Day Festival at the Laurel Bay Welcome Center on Saturday, Sept. 6. This event is an opportunity for the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce and the local business community to show appreciation to the local Marines and sailors and their families for all of their sacrifices with a free day full of fun, food, jump castles, face painting, and more.
Military families from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Parris Island, and Naval Hospital Beaufort were honored during the event, which was presented by the chamber, Atlantic Marine Corps Communities, and Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Dozens of businesses and organizations in the Beaufort community participated in Military Appreciation Day as a way to give back to military families and thank them for their service and dedication.
