Mark your calendars! Join us on the beach for Seabrook Island’s Full Moon
bonfire on Monday, October 6, 2025.
The full Harvest Moon isn’t just any moon—it’s the first of three consecutive Supermoons in 2025, making October’s full moon the largest and brightest of the year. The moon will be at perigee, its closest point to Earth. It will rise low on the horizon and appear noticeably larger and brighter than a typical full moon.
The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox (September 22 or 23). Unlike other full moons, it will rise about the same time for several nights, providing extended evening light. Historically, this extra illumination helped farmers complete their harvests before fall frosts.
Hopefully, the weather remains accommodating. People ask if the bonfire will be held if it’s rainy. The bonfire will be canceled if it is raining or rain is threatening, as few would be comfortable attending.
According to the permit, the fire must be extinguished by 10:00 pm.
