Have a fun-filled family day at Tara Hall’s annual Paddle Fest. Paddlers cruise down Black Mingo Creek and make their way to Tara Hall to celebrate with local bands and summertime cuisine. The event will have plenty of kids’ activities like waterslides and face painting and freebies will be given throughout the day. 93 percent of every dollar goes directly to helping a boy and his family at the Tara Hall Home for Boys.

Tara Hall, 150 Tara Hall Road, Georgetown. Saturday, 7 a.m. registration and 9 a.m. river launch. $10 for festival, $25–$40 for paddlers (plus $10 to rent if you don’t have your own equipment). (843) 546-3000, www.tarahall.org
