The Annual Concert in the Park brought to you by the Daniel Island Community Fund will be on Saturday, May 11th from 5-9 PM under the oaks in Smythe Park.
This year’s Concert will feature our very own Awendaw native and Grammy Award-winning artist, Charlton Singleton & his 10-piece Beehive Jazz Orchestra! To get the evening started, Daniel Island’s own, The Honeybees will be performing from 5 to 6 PM and local singer-songwriter Dylan Carter (from The Voice 2023) will warm up the crowd with his acoustic guitar and amazing voice from 6 to 7 PM! Gather your family and friends, enjoy the scenery and shade of the beautiful Smythe Park oaks, and let Charlton and company get your toes tapping with their modern, up-tempo jazz music.
This year, the main stage will be on the big lawn that backs up along Pierce Street. This is the area off the trail adjacent to the island and has been the location for the second performance stage for the last few events. This area allows for more shady picnic spots and more dance space. Plan to bring your picnic blankets and chairs, and remember that set up to save a spot can not start until the day of the event.
Note – This event is for this date only. There is not a rain date.

For fun activities, there will be a magician, and bubble entertainer, and new this year, we are featuring a family-friendly immersive treasure hunt called the Daniel Island Lost Treasure Hunt by Outer Games. This treasure hunt will be throughout the park and is a cross between a scavenger hunt and a breakout room experience. Great fun for all ages and a fun idea for groups of friends and families to participate together! 1st and 2nd game winners will receive a 4-pack group ticket package for a Stingrays game!
