Lowcountry Summer Sendoff (16:9 Graphic) - 1
Charleston has always been a city that rocks. Its majestic landscapes and waterways have inspired countless generations of Lowcountry musicians. But the delicate ecological balance in the region is under increasing threat from rapid urbanization, coastal development and climate change. The urgency to conserve land has never been more critical.
On August 26, a group of passionate Charleston music scene veterans is coming together to advocate for land conservation and raise funds for safeguarding cherished Lowcountry landscapes. The musicians have partnered with Lowcountry Land Trust and Holy City Brewing to organize a benefit concert that will raise money for permanent land conservation efforts.
The “Lowcountry Summer Sendoff” concert will take place at the marsh-front Porter Room at Holy City Brewing, August 26, 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. The concert is family-friendly, and all ages are welcome to come show their support for Lowcountry land conservation.
Popular food truck Blue Pearl Caviar will be on-site, and a private bar within the venue will also be available for guests to purchase drinks. Holy City Brewing is reviving its Angel Oak Pale Ale for the event and donating one dollar from every drink sold to Lowcountry Land Trust. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase and can be used toward various prizes. Tickets are $20, and advance purchases are recommended. Purchase tickets here.
