2025 WaterFest

This annual community event offers fun for the whole family with an afternoon beside the Wando river! Listen to live music while enjoying oysters, chili and drinks. Little ones can take part in activities like face painting, arts and crafts, and an interactive reptile station led by the SC Aquarium. New this year, the Daniel Island Ferry will provide two, 30-minute cruises along the Wando River. Cruises will be depart from the dock at 1:45 and 2:30p. Sign up will take place at the event and will be first come, first served.

A portion of proceeds from the entry fee will be donated to Charleston Waterkeeper, a Charleston-based nonprofit that works to protect and restore the waterways for you and future generations.

The Waterfront will also have a raffle table open with prizes from local vendors. Raffle ticket sales will also benefit Charleston Waterkeeper.

Be sure to reserve tickets in advance as this event typically sells out!

*Children 2 years of age and younger do not require a ticket for entry
