Live Under the Oaks: Spring Edition

Mount Pleasant Towne Centre hosts plenty of great events throughout the year. They’re very family friendly, dog friendly, and most often free to attend. They’re also quite convenient to your Isle of Palms beach house, as Towne Centre is just over the IOP Connector along Highway 17.

Here’s a good one that's proven so popular, they've expanded it to twice a year  -  a spring edition in April-May and a fall edition from September into November.  

It’s their outdoor concert series called Live Under The Oaks  -  happening every Thursday evening in May from 6pm to 8pm.  The location is in the pretty park-like area across from Barnes & Noble.

You’re encouraged to bring chairs or blankets to stretch out on the grass.  There are some Adirondack chairs available, though a heads-up  -  those spots tend to fill up fast. 

Concerts are emceed by Johnny O' of radio station 95SX Hit Music Now.  You can bring a picnic, or just grab some takeout from one of the many restaurants around Towne Centre.  They’ll also have food trucks onsite, along with beer & wine for sale from Burtons Grill + Bar.
