Beaufort Welcomes All to Its Heartwarming Thanksgiving Celebration

In the charming city of Beaufort, a beloved tradition continues as St. Helena’s Church prepares to open its doors for the 45th year to celebrate Thanksgiving with a community service and dinner. Since 1979, this remarkable gathering has been a highlight for residents and visitors alike, offering a warm and festive atmosphere filled with cheer.

This uplifting service will be followed by a delicious Thanksgiving dinner starting at 11:30 a.m. in the Parish Hall at 507 Newcastle Street, right in the heart of downtown Beaufort.

A Feast for Everyone!

When it comes to food, the menu is nothing short of mouthwatering.
