In Your Date Range
The 23rd Annual Town of Mount Pleasant Blessing of the Fleet and Seafood Festival presented by East Cooper Medical Center, is moving to Memorial Waterfront Park with a full slate of activities to delight everyone. “We are aware that such a change of venue will impact the ‘look’ of the festival, but we want to make sure that the ‘feel’ remains the same,” said Town event planner Su McManus-Frost. “The favorite activities you have come to love and expect at the festival will all be there with enough new additions to give the blessing a unique twist."
Blessing of the Fleet activities include local seafood from East Cooper restaurants, live music by East Coast Party Band and Permanent Vacation, shag and shrimp eating contests, a juried craft show, an art display by the Mount Pleasant Artists Guild, Sweetgrass basket displays, children’s activities and marine and reptile exhibits.
The festival will begin at 11:30 am; followed by a procession on the pier at 12:45 pm and the blessing of the fleet at 1 pm. Permanent Vacation will begin playing at 1:45 pm, followed by the East Coast Party Band from 3-6 pm. The Shag and Shrimp Eating contests will begin at 4:20 pm and the festival will conclude at 6 pm.
The Blessing of the Fleet is sponsored and supported by the Town of Mount Pleasant Office of Community Development & Tourism, the Accommodations Tax Committee, and the Blessing of the Fleet Committee. Admission and onsite parking are FREE.
