April 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Lowcountry residents of all ages are in for a real treat at the 15th Annual A Taste of Beaufort Festival May 2 and 3. The beautiful Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort will come to life with live music, arts and crafts vendors, fresh markets, fun activities for children, and some of the finest Lowcountry cuisine you’ll find anywhere. In addition, sponsor Hilton Head Hyundai (http://www.hiltonheadhyundai.com/cities/hyundai-dealer-near-beaufort/) of the New River Auto Mall will have a terrific selection of exciting new Hyundai vehicles on display.

"This is always a fun event that highlights all of the great restaurants in Beaufort," said Warner Peacock, President and CEO of New River Auto Mall. "We're looking forward to being there again and showing off our vehicles."

The fun starts on Friday, May 2 at noon, when the arts and crafts and fresh markets open, with the festival kicking off with a party in the park at 6 p.m. The Carolina Soul Band will be performing their lively mix of Motown, Beach, and Soul music, and some of the finest local restaurants will be dishing up their specialties. The Friday evening festivities are scheduled to end at 10 p.m.

Saturday, May 3, the ever-popular 5K Bridge Run/Walk begins at 8 a.m., with the Kid’s Fun Run for ages 7 and under starting at 8:45 a.m. Advanced registration is required to participate in either event.

Participants can also pick up their race packets and register at the entrance to Waterfront Park from the Marina parking lot on Friday, May 2 from 4-6 p.m., and up until 7:30 a.m. before the start of the race on Saturday.

But the festival is far from over on Saturday after the race. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., more gourmet, Lowcountry dishes from top area restaurants, as well as wine, beer, and soft drinks will be provided. Food and drink tickets can be purchased for $1 each from ticket booths throughout the park.
