Beach Music To Rock Charleston Museum

Event Details

Step back in time to the heyday of dancing at Folly Beach and the Grand Strand at the Charleston Museum's annual fundraiser on Thursday, April 26, 6:30-9:30 p.m. Dance the night away at "Beach Music on the Boardwalk," featuring live beach music by the Ocean Drive Party Band, sinfully good boardwalk-style eats, a rollicking live auction, roller derby demos by the Lowcountry Highrollers and an open bar. The all-inclusive tickets are $75/member, $80/non-member; proceeds benefit the beautification of the Museum courtyard. Advance reservations are strongly recommended; register online through the calendar of events at www.charlestonmuseum.org or call 722-2996 x235 by April 24. Hosted by the Friends and Needed Supporters (FANS) of the Charleston Museum.

Boardwalk treats will include sliders, hot dogs, fries, fish tacos, and wood fired pizza. Dancers can cool off at the open bar or be tempted by the beer tasting from Coast Brewery and a surprise signature "cocktail" that will throw you back to your dancin' days. The evening comes to a sweet end with unique, icy pops from the King of Pops and tidbits from local chocolatier Sweeteeth.

Charity auctioneer extraordinaire, Doug Warner, will conduct an energetic live auction featuring items and packages sure to tempt one and all. Auction highlights include two highly coveted Wanamaker Club tickets to the PGA Championship at Kiawah, a handmade Charleston joggling board, vacation home rentals (mountain and coastal) and an assortment of packages featuring parties, local gift certificates, jewelry and more. Please visit the Museum's website after April 4th for a full listing of auction items.

Proceeds from the annual fundraiser are intended to benefit the planned renovation and improvement of the Museum's courtyard. Based on planning including consideration of possibly-significant revisions and enhancements of the existing space, the new Museum courtyard will be a visually attractive, peaceful, inviting space, functional and useful for both Museum social gatherings and programs.
