Bluffton Mayfest

An annual tradition for over 40 years, Bluffton Mayfest ushers in the Lowcountry summer season each Saturday before Mother’s Day. This year’s event takes place on May 10, 2025, 10 AM – 5 PM. Most events will be held at Martin Family Park, Dubois Park, the Heyward House and Bridge Street.

This is a true family friendly event provided by the Rotary Club of Bluffton. All family members, including fluffy, furry ones, are welcome. Admission is free. This one day event promises a day filled with good food, live music, entertainment and amazing local artwork. Over 200 vendors (arts, crafts and food) are expected to participate this year. Festivities include a good, old-fashioned pie-eating contest which begins at 11:30 AM at Dubois Park Pavillion.

Although there is really no such thing, the Ugly Dog Competition starts at 1:00 PM at the Heyward House. Speaking of dogs, you will find water stations throughout the venue for your canine family member. Be sure you keep your pet leashed at all times and bring any items needed for doggie clean up.

Live music will be provided at:

Main Stage Martin Family Park

11 AM – 1 PM Lyn Avenue

2 – 4:30 PM – Peach Patrol

Second Stage (Bridge Street)

11 AM – 1 PM – Alan Price

2 – 4:30 PM – String Surfers
