HarbourFest at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina
Enjoy an all-evening extravaganza that’s fun for the whole family at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina for HarbourFest. This exciting event isn’t just a fireworks show, it's a summer celebration featuring live music, arts and crafts, and kids activities.
As the sun begins to set, find your spot along the harbor and prepare to be entertained by the island's beloved Shannon Tanner. Known for his engaging performances, Shannon will serenade the crowd with special patriotic selections at both 6:30 p.m. Following that performance, Parrot Palooza will take the stage and rock out to classic Jimmy Buffet songs.
As darkness falls, all eyes turn to the sky. The fireworks display at HarbourFest is truly a sight to behold, with vibrant bursts of color reflecting off the calm harbor waters. The fireworks display is set to Shannon Tanner’s vocals, creating a multisensory experience that encapsulates the magic of the 4th of July.
For families staying at our vacation rentals in the Palmetto Dunes area, getting to and from the festivities is a breeze. The Palmetto Dunes Buggy will continue operating until after the fireworks conclude, ensuring a convenient and safe return to your accommodations.
Harbour Town Fireworks at Sea Pines Resort
On the southern end of the island, another unforgettable celebration awaits at the iconic Harbour Town in Sea Pines Resort. This event offers a different, but equally mesmerizing, experience for 4th of July celebrations and fireworks enthusiasts.
At approximately 9:00 p.m., the sky above Harbour Town explodes into a kaleidoscope of color. What makes this display truly special is its backdrop - the famous Harbour Town Lighthouse.
