Events for Mayfest 2024!

Let’s start with everyone’s favorite! Remember the days when you were a kid, and the idea of a pie-eating contest seemed like the most fabulous event on the earth? Well, get ready!. The Pie Eating Contest starts at 11:30 am at Dubois Park Pavillion.

 

Next up! The Ugly Dog Competition starts at 1:00 pm at the Heyward House. Get your dog, and come on down! This festival is family-friendly and dog-friendly to boot! You’ll find plenty of water stations for your favorite family pet, and please make sure you bring all necessary items for cleaning up after your dog (it’s encouraged to bring your dog, but we don’t want the name of the festival to change to something that starts with poop). The competition is all about fun and games, and we consider all dogs in this competition to be The Best Dogs in the World! We don’t think you’ll find one ugly dog in Bluffton.
