AN OVERVIEW
Charleston’s shrimpers and fishermen are honored annually at the Blessing of the Fleet and Seafood Festival in Mt. Pleasant, a family-friendly event that caps off a week of activities in the town celebrating the seafood industry. In addition to a parade put on by the iconic shrimp boats and a ceremony that includes prayer for the safety and success of their owners and operators, local restaurants vend tasty seafood concoctions and live music sets the mood.
For those who may find the whole event a little fishy, a shagging contest and arts and crafts fair are included in this year’s line-up of activities. This event is kid-friendly and free for admission and parking, so come on out to the Mt. Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park on Sunday, April 28th, from 11:30 am to 6:00 pm and join in this celebration that draws over 12,000 people! For more information and updates on the events preceding the Blessing of the Fleet, watch the town calendar here.. For additional questions about the festival call (843) 884-8517.
