HarbourFest is Hilton Head Island’s largest multi-week event where tens of thousands of visitors gathered throughout the summer for 12 firework shows, live entertainment and a variety of kids activities.

Shannon Tanner performed shows every Monday through Thursday evening with the crowd singing back the words to favorite classics. And in-between shows, kids would line up for Shannon to sign their hat. 

Parents danced the night away with their children, some of whom also took to the stage to perform their song of choice.

Right by the stage is the kindest clown you’ll ever meet – Cappy the Clown. Kids line up to make their face painting request, ask for their favorite balloon animal or to create their own sand art creation. Cappy loved interacting with the kids and reuniting with guests over the summer.

HarbourFest Train Rides and Bouncy Houses Add to Guests Hilton Head Vacation Experience

After all the excitement of music and activities, attendees gathered to face Broad Creek as each firework show began. Everyone at Shelter Cove Harbour and Marina stopped to watch the fireworks light up the sky in every color imaginable.
