Festivals in the Lowcountry !!!
We have some great venues for entertainment in the fall. Numerous weekend festivals in and around the lowcountry. Last week in Bluffton they had their annual seafood festival, the weekend before that Shelter Cove Park hosted the Cajun festival. If it's art, wine, music, food, crafts, historical or just fun the lowcountry can truly be a fun place on the weekends.
If you like to sail the local yacht clubs have several regattas in the fall, or if you like to fish there are around four fishing tournaments in the fall. So, what ever you like we have it!!
Beaufort has it's annual Water Festival, the island has Wine Fest, Wing Fest, Concerts at Honey Horn, various food festivals, Gullah festival. Bluffton it seems is always having a festival down town ( they will do anything for a party) Coming up in Bluffton make sure you don't miss the Christmas parade, and the ugly dog contest, and there will be plenty of artist with everything from crafts to fine paintings.
However, if you are a car buff ( I am not) you will not want to miss the Concours d"Elegance this weekend Oct 31 - Nov2 at Honey Horn Plantation the new home of the Hilton Head Museum.
It's what makes our "Lifestyle" on Hilton Head so much more fun.
Below is an article from the packet touting the changes for this year from June 08. So if you are a car buff get out there this weekend and look at cars or even bid on a classic car.

Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance & Motoring Festival re-christened its new racing venue for this year's event.
Car enthusiasts ran Ferraris, BMWs and Mini Coopers through the 2-mile Hutchinson Island road-course in Savannah on Thursday morning.
The race track hadn't been used since a 1997 Indy Lights Series Race. Now it will be the home to a variety of cars -- including some from the original Great Savannah Races of 1908 to 1911 -- when the Concours launches on Oct. 30, said Carolyn Vanagel, festival executive director.
Hutchinson Island replaces Roebling Road Raceway in Bloomingdale, Ga., as the festival's race course.
"Here, it's much more spectator-friendly," Vanagel said of Hutchinson Island.
When the festival moves to Honey Horn on Hilton Head on Nov. 1 and 2, Brass Era cars, those made prior to 1916, will hold the place of honor. At least one car from each year between 1899 and 1915 will be on display.
Concours is the second-largest event on Hilton Head, behind the Verizon Heritage golf tournament. About 11,500 people attended the 2007 festival, and 12,500 are expected this year, organizers say.
