 An annual tradition is underway in the Lowcountry. The U.S. Coast Guard is reminding that traffic on all water close to the seawall at Waterfront Park from the Ladies Island Bridge to Spanish Point through the 21st will be closed for the Beaufort Water Festival. An air show is also expected to close down vessel traffic for several hours during the afternoon of July 20th. The first water festival was held in July 1956.
