Mark your calendars! Grab your pup and head to historic downtown Beaufort on Friday, August 1 for a dog friendly evening from 5 PM to 8 PM during our First Friday: Dog Days of Summer.

What to Expect

  • Bring your dog, on a leash, and enjoy a relaxed stroll on Bay Street, where shops stay open late, and the energy buzzes with live music, refreshing beverages, and summer evening vibes. No street closures this month—just great local foot traffic and community energy.

  • Local businesses roll out the red carpet for pups with treats and shaded resting spots. It’s the perfect time to support small business while unwinding with your furry best friend.
