Nothing says “vacation mode” like fresh seafood by the water.
The annual Blessing of the Fleet & Seafood Festival in Mount Pleasant, SC — just a ~4-hour flight from Kansas City — invites you to soak up some fun in the Lowcountry on Sunday, April 27.
From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., watch local shrimp boats parade through Charleston Harbor for a traditional blessing, then dig into fresh, wild-caught seafood from local restaurants and food vendors.
While you’re there, check out:
- A craft show + juried art exhibition by the Mount Pleasant Artists Guild, where you can browse and purchase one-of-a-kind works of art
- Shag dancing and shrimp-eating contests
- Live music and entertainment
- Tons of family-friendly activities
With the stunning Charleston Harbor and Ravenel Bridge as your backdrop, this free festival is a must for seafood lovers and anyone looking to spend the perfect day by the water.
