There are a plethora of summer events and activities on the Charleston Coast. To help you narrow down which activities fit your vacation the best, we have created a list of summer events in late June and July.
Charleston Riverdogs
Head to The Joe for a night of baseball, hot dogs, and gorgeous sunsets! The Joe, the nickname for Joseph P. Riley Stadium and home of the Riverdogs, sits on the Ashley River. This location provides views and sunsets that rival any in Charleston.

Charleston Margarita Festival
July 20, 2018
Charlestonians all have their own reasons for loving the Holy City and one reason everyone can agree on is the love of food & cocktails. The Charleston Margarita Festival brings together some of the most popular restaurants for a day of friendly competition. This year the festival is at Brittlebank Park (right next to The Joe!). Spend the evening sampling 20+ margaritas, enjoying delicious food and good music, and you will likely have a front row seat to a breathtaking sunset. The Charleston Margarita Festival is a 21+ event – so hire a babysitter and get ready for a night out!
Party at the Point
This family-friendly concert series happens every Friday from April to June. The waterfront location provides the perfect setting for a laid-back, Lowcountry Happy Hour. Live music along with good food & drinks make this a fun event for the entire family. Party at the Point is hosted at the beach at Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina. Kids love playing in the sand and dancing along to the bands! You are welcome to bring in beach chairs, towels, and blankets to set up the perfect spot to enjoy the festivities. There are only a few Fridays left in June – don’t miss your chance to enjoy this fun summer event! Â
