Edisto Beach Events: Festivals, Dates & Things to Do

Edisto Beach keeps its calendar small-town and laid-back: a Labor Day shag festival, a July billfish tournament, a fall street fair on Jungle Road and a golf-cart Christmas parade. Most events happen at Bay Creek Park beside the marina, and many are free. Every event below has its own page with the date, time, location and tickets.

Tips for Edisto Event Days

Plan for one road in. SC-174 is the only way onto the island, so leave extra time on big festival weekends.
Come early to Bay Creek Park. Most festivals, fireworks and movie nights happen at the park at 3706 Docksite Road, and parking near the marina fills up fast.
Bike or golf cart if you can. Edisto Beach is small and flat, and it’s often quicker than hunting for a parking spot.
Bring chairs and bug spray. Outdoor events by the marsh get buggy around dusk.
Make a night of it. Grab dinner at one of the Edisto Beach restaurants near the marina or on Jungle Road before or after.
