McLeod Plantation was established in 1851 and  has borne witness to some of the most significant periods of Charleston’s - and our nations - history. Today McLeod Plantation is an important 37-acre Gullah/Geechee heritage site that has been carefully preserved in recognition of its cultural and historical significance. The grounds include a riverside outdoor pavilion, a sweeping oak allée, and the McLeod Oak, which is thought to be more than 600 years old

Charleston County Park & Recreation Commission presents the 2020 Salute the Solstice Charleston Yoga Fest at James Island County Park. Throughout history, solstices and equinoxes have been sacred points to honor the flow of life on earth. The Summer Solstice is a time for us to come back to balance, and thrive in the joys of life. As the sun rises to the highest point in the sky, Charleston will gather to Salute the Solstice, celebrating our connection and the light that is within each of us. This gathering is an opportunity to practice with teachers from Charleston's yoga studios. You'll experience meditation, 108 Sun Salutations, safe hands-on adjustments, live music and the sweetness of moving in nature.

Dust off your dancing shoes and get ready for summer and Shaggin’ on the Pier! Live music will fill the air with local bands performing throughout the season at the Mount Pleasant Pier. Gates open at 7:00pm and the music begins at 8:00pm. All ages are invited to let loose, breathe in the ocean breeze and dance the night away under the stars.
