Staff reports

In celebration of South Carolina Aviation Week, Beaufort County Airports will host the first annual Frog Fest 2026. It will be held Saturday, April 18, at Beaufort Executive Airport at 39 Airport Circle on Lady’s Island.

Frog Fest 2026, which features road races, and a full day of music with nine live acts, is open to the public and will kick off with the Flying Frog 5K/10K, a runway race with all proceeds going to support OPFOB. The event also includes music, food, fun and airplanes.

The event is $10. However children 12 and younger are free. The event cost is included for registered Flying Frog 5K/10K runners.

The Frog Fest Music Festival starts at 10 a.m., and will extend the excitement long after the runners cross the finish line.
