The Experience · Charleston, SC
Charleston, where even the horses click clack in 120 BPM. Make a full week or weekend vacation out of your trip to High Tide… We promise, you won’t regret it.
Dates
High Tide begins Friday June 4th and ends the night of Saturday June 5th. Extend your trip and make the most out of Sunday, or call in a cheeky little Thursday sick day. We’ve got breathtaking beaches, incredible cuisine, and beautiful architecture. You’re gonna want to stay for more than 2 days, we promise.
Stay
We offer discounted rates at our cozy partnered hotels. P.S. Some of them host official pre and after parties for High Tide and are all within 10 minutes driving to the festival grounds. If you want easy access, that’s the play. If you’d like something more unique and historical, take a look at Historic Downtown Charleston’s scenic streets just steps outside of your downtown hotel.
Beach
The Festival doesn’t start until 3pm, so you have a full morning of beach time ahead of you. Take an Uber to Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island, or Isle of Palms, enjoy beautiful sandy beaches and get that last minute tan in (you seem pale).
Lunch
We think the best lunches in our beach towns are Chico Feo on Folly, Home Team BBQ on Sullivan’s, and Cudaco on Folly Road. If you go to Home Team, make sure to try the wings and a Gamechanger. Tell them High Tide sent you, we love to support local independent businesses and it would mean a lot if you helped spread that word.
Festival
High Tide awaits. Make sure to utilize our shuttle program for the easiest access to the venue. Shuttle passes should be purchased in advance (they will sell out ahead of time)!
Brunch
If we did our job effectively last night, we can only assume you’re hungover and look like a shell of what you once were. We all know the best way to handle that is to get a bomb brunch and a little hair of the dog. We recommend brunch at Post House, just over the Cooper River bridge. Their chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, or full southern breakfasts will get you right back on your feet. A word to the wise - reserve your spot soon!
