🍤 That’s a wrap on Day Two of the Beaufort Shrimp Festival!

A little rain couldn’t stop Beaufort from having a great time! Thank you to everyone who came out, grabbed some incredible food, enjoyed the music and helped make another Shrimp Festival one to remember.

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors who help make this festival possible, our food and craft vendors who bring so much to the weekend, and all of the talented musicians and performers who kept the festival going — rain or shine!

And a special thank you to our Shrimp Showdown judges, who had the very difficult (but delicious) job of tasting their way through this year’s entries and choosing the winner of the 2026 Shrimp Showdown! Congratulations to Pieceofyardandabroad LLC for taking the win! Great job by Ashlee of Beaufort Area Hospitality Association and Peach of SC Lowcountry Tourism Commission for another great Shrimp Showdown!

Most of all, thank YOU, Beaufort, for showing up and supporting this incredible community event.

Rain, shrimp, music and a whole lot of Beaufort. We wouldn’t have it any other way. 🍤❤️
