Ring in the season at the Daniel Island Holiday Festival

Tis the season to be jolly on Daniel Island! This weekend, the Annual Daniel Island Holiday Festival comes to town with plenty of merry-making opportunities for the whole family. On Saturday, December 3, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Volvo Car Stadium/Family Circle Tennis Center will be transformed into a festive, lively holiday showcase of food, entertainment and shopping that is sure to make Santa proud.

“Bring the whole family out and enjoy this ‘feel good’ holiday community event,” said Barbara McLaughlin, manager of community services for the Daniel Island Property Owners Association.

The day will include “fabulous holiday shopping,” added McLaughlin, featuring 90 of Charleston’s finest vendors as well as “outstanding entertainment and kid’s activities.”

Headlining the entertainment portion of the program will be the Steven Simon and the Kinds of Jazz Band as well as a holiday extravaganza performance led by the 70 piece Charleston Community Band.

This family-friendly, Charleston holiday treasure has been voted as one of the “Top 10” Best Holiday Season events in the Lowcountry, noted McLaughlin.

“The festival is the perfect way to kick off your holiday season,” she said. “Once inside the gates, you’ll find an entire ‘holiday shopping village’ conveniently located along the Volvo Car Stadium concourse. Enjoy festive drinks and food while you shop for just the right gifts for those on your list - including you!”
