Looking for a fun and unique experience? Come on over to Bluffton “ The Last True Coastal Village of the South”, located just  before the Bridge to Hilton Head Island. The Bluffton Christmas parade  on December 5^th is the quirkiest most fun entertainment around.  From the Women’s Drill team (with real drills) to the Bubba Ballet (men in Tutus) this eclectic event with spontaneous entries keep us laughing from year to year.

After the parade stick around and visit some of the most unique shopping in our area blended in with colorful and creative art galleries. Lots of local talent here with one of a kind gift ideas. Dining opportunities are endless with charming Sidewalk Cafés, fresh Seafood and unbelievable BBQ.

For parking, look for the Stock Farm neighborhood, a new development in Old Town Bluffton.  Located on May River Road just steps from the parade route, and is offering free parade parking.  The neighborhood covered in a canopy of beautiful trees is walking distance to the River, The Oyster Factory, Calhoun St., restaurants and all the fun and charm that Old Town  has to offer.  The Stock Farm Cottage collection is available with homes starting at $350,000.  For more information go to : www.MaureenSellsBluffton.com
