This festival has not gotten a lot of reviews. Let me tell you my experience from my 2025…read moreattendance. I went to the first 19 years of Austin City Limits Festival. This is the closest festival you can attend to feel what it was like at ACL in the very early years. Bands selected were from indie-folk to indie-rock radio (Mt Joy, Flipturn, Amos Lee) & all the way to a couple of "old-people" bands w Counting Crows and Trampled by Turtles. No hip-hop. No DJ sets. Just solid alt-pop/rock, alt-folk, R&B (hey there m, The War and Treaty). This festival is produced by the company that does ACL and Lollapalooza, so they know how to organize a big show. I'm begging the production company to keep this festival as pure down the alt-folky, Americana, "classic alternative" lane as possible going forward. I will def come back whenever the lineup is as solid as 2025. All the festival staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Part of that is probably just the overwhelming hospitality vibe you experience anywhere in Charleston, but the High Water Festival seemed to put especially competent people in key public interaction positions. I've been to more than 20 festivals, but High Water was the best from organization, personal service and facility standpoints.

When a friend had an extra ticket I thought, why not! "Yes" to doing things again and being…read moresocial!!haha It's been years since my last festival so it was nice to attend one again. The High Water Festival is comprised of 2 stages with vendors, food + tents, free parking surrounding the area - depending on where you park it could be at most a mile. Your wristband once activated is your form of entrance which you scan after security. The event itself flowed nicely - I was surprised when the bands played right on time so kudos to the sound teams and engineering to make each set flow effortlessly. I've been to shows where there's a delay by a hour or so but these sets were punctual. Some random tips: bring sun protection because there's very little shade unless you find a spot by the water or more towards the outskirts of the field. The memorial area near the entrance is a nice quiet area for introverts that need to recharge from the energy of the crowds or folks that experience sensory overload. The most helpful tip would also be to bring your own empty water bottle. I loved how I could fill up at the several water refill stations to stay hydrated! If you can, eat beforehand unless you don't mind lengthy lines. I like how they tried to prevent that by spacing out maybe 3 of such tents throughout the field area and having the option to use your wristband as payment when you register a credit card with your band. I tried a King of Pop popsicle which was a nice treat to cool down with along the water. There are porta potty's as restrooms but these had no toilet paper or hand sanitizer so bring some of your own if you feel inclined. Overall it was a pleasant festival with scenic views along the water and a nice way to spend the weekend. I wouldn't have gone if it weren't for my friend! Hoping more performers down the line will grace Charleston with their presence.

The Charleston Music Hall itself is a beautiful, historic venue--intimate, well-maintained, and known for hosting concerts, comedy shows, and special events. The seating is comfortable, sightlines are good, and acoustics are solid, which definitely worked in favor of the vocal performances. The singers were clearly talented and did a great job vocally--everyone sounded wonderful, and there's no denying the performers can sing. However, we personally felt that the show didn't quite feel like a full "production." It leaned heavily on straightforward singing, with limited storytelling, choreography, or theatrical elements to tie everything together. This may come down to expectations and personal preference. Growing up around Broadway shows in NYC, we're used to more dynamic, story-driven performances with larger production value, and this didn't quite meet that standard for us. While others may enjoy it for the music and holiday spirit--especially in a cozy venue like the Charleston Music Hall--we would probably not attend again, particularly considering the ticket price.

The last band that I saw at the Charleston Music Hall was Hatebreed, a metal-core hardcore band that makes you ears bleed in the good way. Fortunately, the staff can provide you with complimentary ear plugs. Every visit to the Music Hall is consistently awesome! The Music Hall's website states: "Centrally located in the Upper King Street area of historic downtown Charleston, SC, the Charleston Music Hall was built in 1850 as a passenger station for the South Carolina Railroad, then converted to a full-service music venue in 1995."

I was so nervous on the morning of the big day, and Dominique, the event manager, was incredible.

I'm so happy with my decision to have our wedding here. My husband said he wants to throw another party here on our one year anniversary and he's only half kidding. I'm pretty sure all my guests would happily do it again!

There needs do be a warning for claustrophobic situations. I nearly hyperventilated due to the bag area and while that may be funny to some, I worry for people with much more serious cases. I get it's a haunted house and is supposed to be scary.....this is different though. Just a heads up on that. If I had known about the bags, I wouldn't have gone in. Also we weren't able to do any of the other attractions because the wait times would be over an hour and that really was a bummer. Music was too loud to even hear yourself speak to your friends or partners in the hayride line. So having to hang out there for an hour and not be able to speak was a no for me.

I like how you are able to sit wherever. Whereas other theatres you have to choose a seat on the screen when purchasing tickets. That being said I will always choose the Terrace over any other theatre in Charleston. If you haven't gone to the terrace please support them they are amazing. The staff and everything else about this place is fantastic!!! Tip: when you are seeing a movie make sure to get there early to get a good parking spot the lot is small so they always suggest to carpool or get there early enough to find a parking spot. There is additional parking in the back and it's clearly marked it's a gravel lot. So make sure you get there in plenty of time that way you aren't stuck finding a spot. Anyways terrace theatre is a must go !!!

The seats are comfortable, the lobby can get just a bit crowded but not claustrophobic. Pick a movie from its website or on its lighted "awning" (as some call it) and you are certain to find something today, if not, then tomorrow as the films change sometimes every couple of days. I have seen and enjoyed here, every single time. Come here and ejnjoy. Down side? Looking for an extra couple of minutes to find a parking space out front or just start out back instead for sure parking.
