On Hilton Head Island, there is so much more to experience than just the beautiful beaches and pools (although, let's be honest, those are pretty great too!).
To help you plan your trips to the island, I've put together a calendar of special events that are perfect for families. I have highlighted a few of them below, but click on the calendar below for details!
This weekly summer celebration at Shelter Cove is packed with live music, entertainment, arts & crafts, and tons of fun activities for kids. Enjoy spinning hats, carnival games, face painting, and more with beloved performers like Shannon Tanner and Cappy the Clown.
PLUS Fireworks every Tuesday night!
Gregg Russell Family Concerts
If you haven't experienced the magic of Gregg Russell's concerts yet, you are missing out! For generations, families have fallen in love with Gregg's shows under the iconic Liberty Oak in Harbour Town. This Hilton Head Island legend is famous for his super fun, interactive sing-alongs that get everyone dancing and singing together.
