And another key objective of the Historic Bluffton Arts & Seafood Festival - protecting our beautiful May River.

🌊 M is for May River — Bluffton’s heart, history, and a precious natural resource.

The May River isn’t just scenic — it’s a vital ecosystem that supports recreation, wildlife, and our local economy.

Let’s all do our part to keep the May River clean — because what happens on land flows directly into our waterways.
