The 22nd Historic Bluffton Arts & Seafood Festival is underway and we are looking forward to all the great events during this week. The complete schedule can be found on our website, blufftonartsandseafoodfestival.org.
We are a total volunteer organization made up of mostly members of the Bluffton Rotary Club and their friends and families. We work closely with the town to put on this very large event which hopefully serves as an economic driver for our local businesses, celebrates the very essence of Bluffton and raises money to give back to our community. Our festival has always been put on by the community, for the community and benefiting the community. Any undertaking this large will have its highs and lows but we concentrate on our successes and constantly look for improvements/additions/volunteers. We could never do it without the support of the town. With that said all comments and complaints should be sent to us rather than the town. We also welcome all the help we can get which ultimately will help us improve the festival in the coming years.
Thank you again, Bluffton, and let's have a great festival and raise some money to give back to those in our community in need. We filled Bluffton Self Help's Van last night and took monetary donations to help them with their growing need. Thank you again
for your support.
