Annual Oyster Roast
Join us at Bowen’s Island on January 24th for the 2027 Save the Light Oyster Roast—an afternoon of oysters, live music, and Lowcountry favorites supporting the Morris Island Lighthouse. VIP guests enjoy early access with exclusive bites and drinks from 1–2 PM. Tickets are limited and sold out quickly last year!
5k Run & Half Marathon
Saturday, February 7, 2026
Join us on Folly Beach for the 2026 Save the Light Half Marathon & 5K—two USATF-certified races supporting the preservation of the Morris Island Lighthouse. Both courses start and finish near the Folly Beach Pier, with the Half Marathon as a run-only event and the 5K open to runners and walkers. Lace up, take in the shoreline, and help protect a Lowcountry landmark.
150th Celebration Art Contest
Calling all artists, photographers, designers, and creatives! The Morris Island Lighthouse turns 150 this year, and we want to celebrate with you.
Save the Light is hosting an art contest open to all ages and skill levels. We’re looking for an original design featuring the Morris Island Lighthouse, and the winning artwork will be featured on the back of our limited-edition 150th Celebration tee, sold at our October event at Bowens Island Restaurant.
