A favorite here in the Lowcountry, the arrival of October (usually) brings cooler temperatures…but it always brings porch parties, oyster roasts, fun festivals and tons of local events. For autumn lovers, fall is a time to be celebrated with lots going on outdoors in the Beaufort area.

Although the season can start off warm and wet, it’ll get cooler and much more fall-like as it goes on. Average high temperatures in early October are in the low 80s, but by the end of the month they tend to cool down just the right, crisp amount which brings out the spirit of fall.

Start the month by celebrating our savory local shrimp and enjoy the Beaufort Shrimp Festival on Friday &amp; Saturday, October 5th &amp; 6th at downtown’s Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Local restaurants invade the park with their best local shrimp recipes hoping to win honors for their creative dishes. Spend Friday night and Saturday enjoying local live music, some cold beverages and lots of community fun.

Embrace everything about fall at the annual Habersham Harvest Festival. The event is Beaufort’s only fall festival and it&#039;s a load of fun for folks of all ages. Bring the whole family on October 20th &amp; 21st and spend two days browsing artisan vendors, sampling and enjoying great local food, live music, plus plenty of activities for kids of all ages including an ever-popular 3 story tall ferris wheel, a vintage carousel and other rides, eating contests, petting zoos, face painters and so so much more. Thousands usually attend…and we know why. It’s probably one of the best times you’ll have all month long.

Get scared out of your shirt (and shoes) with the annual Beaufort Ghost Tours in downtown Beaufort. Starting October 12th and running several nights up until the day before Halloween, take a walking or a carriage ride through downtown and hear stories of old haunted Beaufort….some from the ghosts themselves. Beaufort is full of haunted history, and these tours really bring the ghosts out.
Get ready for some Oktoberfest fun with beer, food and more beer in Port Royal as the Old Village Association is hosting the 5th Annual OktoPRfest “Party Port Royal-style” festival on October 27th starting at 11am. Paris Avenue will be packed with a little bit of everything for everyone including a classic car show, tons of craft vendors, a music stage, dancers, food vendors and one huge OktoPRfest beer garden. Look for some great live music and kids can enjoy the Kids Zone with clowns, face painting and lots more.

Stretch your dollar by attending a few fun area fall bazaars (and enjoy some seriously great homemade food too!). A few of our local churches always host their annual bazaars in the fall. One offers a huge pumpkin patch for the kids and one offers the area’s largest silent auction.

You can trespass legally every October during the Historic Beaufort Foundation’s Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens. On October 26th, 27th &amp; 28th visitors are invited to explore Beaufort from a rare vantage point: a selection of private homes , gardens, and plantations normally not open to the public welcomes visitors inside. The houses represent three centuries of Beaufort architecture for which the city is justly famous.

As you can plainly see....fall has it all here in the Lowcountry.
