Boathouse Backyard Summer Concert Series

This bar and grill on the waterway brings in all kinds of music for their Sunday Funday concert series. Past performers have included Little Texas, Coolio, Rehab, Fuel, and numerous other national, regional, and local acts. The series runs from May to September, and many attendees come by boat, hanging out on them or floating in the water as they listen to the live band. If you’re lucky, you might get invited onto one of them for a post-concert bash.

Cool Summer Evenings at Brookgreen Gardens

There’s nothing quite like nighttime in South Carolina during the summer months. It’s still a little warm even as the sun has passed for the day, but cooler in comparison to the sunshine-soaked afternoons. Enjoy relaxing tunes while taking in the surrounding beauty that the gardens have to offer. Shows are free with admission to the grounds.
