Shrimpin’ n Shaggin’ “A New Lowcountry Tradition” combines two of the Lowcountry’s most loved activities – eating local shrimp dishes and dancing to favorite beach music tunes by The Men of Distinction and the East Coast Party Band.
From 11 am until 5pm at the Charleston Maritime Center the air will be filled with the aroma of fabulous local shrimp dishes. There will also be a shrimp dish contest, dance contest and and plenty of activities for all. Don’t forget to visit the local shrimp boat offering fresh catch to take home. We invite families and friends to bring their chairs and blankets an enjoy all the local color of the second Shrimpin’ n Shaggin’ Festival.
