Cheers to the new and improved Folly Beach Pier!
After a whole lot of careful work, Edwin S. Taylor Folly Beach Fishing Pier has been renovated and improved. Read all about it in this blog.
In 2023 they decided to throw a party to celebrate the milestone with loads of music, food and carnival-like fun. Plus it was for a good cause, as funds raised benefitted the Charleston County Parks Foundation. Tickets were $20 in advance for adults, and kids 12 and under are free. They sold out FAST, way ahead of time.
Due to the great response, there's a good chance it will become an annual thing. Stay posted for 2024 date and details.
Here’s what they had in 2023:
- Live music by The Dave Landeo Band, and Justin Hodge;
- Entertainment acts that are family-friendly;
- Face painting, temporary tattoos, and roving kid-friendly activities;
- Plenty of food vendors, beverages, and festival food like cotton candy and popcorn;
- You’re encouraged to bring your own chairs. No pets, outside coolers, smoking or vaping, please.
