High Water Festival 2026
High Water Festival is a boutique music and culinary event held annually at Riverfront Park in North Charleston, South Carolina. The festival features two alternating stages with no overlapping sets, allowing attendees to catch every performance. It celebrates the 'Lowcountry' lifestyle by blending a curated lineup of indie rock, folk, and Americana music with high-end local culinary experiences, including 'The Refuge' food court and oyster education classes. Known for its scenic riverside views and Spanish moss-draped live oaks, the festival offers a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
