Sons of Sailors, a Jimmy Buffett tribute band, played for the first time during this year’s Island Time Tuesday event on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in Beaufort.

The annual Water Festival Event does not always draw as big of a crowd as other nights, but there were still plenty of people at the park ready to dance to the laid-back island tunes that the band played.

Tuesday was also First Responder and Military Appreciation Night, meaning that those with an active ID card were admitted for free.
