Warmer weather is just around the corner, and that means one thing in Mount Pleasant: festival season.

In addition to a lineup of fun seasonal events, here are a couple festivals we’re eyeing:

  • Blessing of the Fleet & Seafood Festival | Sunday, April 28 | Test your shrimp-eating skills + groove at a Shag dance contest at this highly-anticipated festival that pays tribute to the shrimping + seafood industry.
  • Sweetgrass Festival | Saturday, July 27 | Meet sweetgrass basket weavers and taste authentic Gullah food at this festival that celebrates Gullah culture.

Grab your shades + getaway
