The race begins and ends at Oyster Factory Park and winds through the historic streets of Old Towne Bluffton. Everyone who participates will get a themed T-shirt, a lei, and snacks after the race. Prizes will go to those with the most colorful outfits.
The main event happens the next evening, on Friday, July 25, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Oyster Factory Park. It's called the Shrimp Festival Sunset Party, and it features live music, seafood, food trucks, craft beers, and family fun.
