Life at Kiawah River moves at the pace of nature — giving you time to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the moments that make the Lowcountry special. This fall, you’re invited to experience the season through a curated lineup of events that celebrate family, community, and life along the river.
🏃♀️ Run Like the Devil 5K and Fun Run | Saturday, Oct. 18

🎃 Goats and Gourds | Friday, Oct. 17-Sunday, Oct. 19
Carve a pumpkin and watch curious goats wander beneath moss-draped oaks at The Goatery’s beloved fall tradition. Psst… don’t forget to stock up on creamy chèvre, tangy feta, award-winning pimento cheese, and farm-fresh eggs while savoring the charm of Kiawah River.

🐊 Backroads Safari | Saturdays throughout the fall
