JUNE 21: Beaufort Food Truck Fest: The Beaufort Food Truck Fest will take place at Beaufort Town Center on Saturday, June 21 from 2 to 8 p.m. The event is a fundraiser for the Arts Council of Beaufort County and is a chance to sample a variety of “curbside cuisine” — all handmade in small batches and served straight from the vendors who prepared them. Some of the participating trucks and food carts include: Joe Loves Lobster Rolls, Island Noodles, Bhajee on the Beach Indian Food, Palmetto Smokehouse Barbeque, Bruster’s Ice Cream, Pep Rolls of Charleston, Cool Breeze Shaved Ice, Yummy Buns, and Sisters of the New South. A particularly unusual vendor will be Vigil’s Food Stand, who will be serving Navajo and southwestern dishes. Admission to the event is free, but donations are encouraged and you will need to purchase the food. In addition to food, the event will feature live music by The Cluster Shucks, The Hypnotics, and The Rose Family Band. In between the musical acts will be short demonstrations by two local dance groups: The Palmetto Dancers and Revolution Ballroom, a new professional dance studio.
