HarbourFest
Summer Evenings from April through August at Shelter Cove Harbour
HarbourFest has earned the distinction of being Shelter Cove Harbour's signature summer event. From April through August, Shelter Cove features live entertainment seven nights a week, plus unforgettable food, arts and crafts, fireworks and a flurry of activity. All events at HarbourFest are free and open to the public.
Troubadour Shannon Tanner, a fixture at HarbourFest since 1991, blends the sounds of the ‘60s with sing-a-longs and his own original ballads. An audience favorite, Shannon returns to Shelter Cove to kick off his 20th anniversary season on Hilton Head Island on April 18, much to delight of children and families who return, year after year, to enjoy his high-energy performances. Shannon will perform one show nightly at 7 p.m. from April 18 to June 1, Monday through Friday. From June 2 to September 1, he will offer two shows each night at 6:30 and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Fireworks serve as the centerpiece for HarbourFest every Tuesday from June 3 to August 26, 2008. This breathtaking display lights up the sky just after dusk. Don't miss the special Fourth of July fireworks show, which offers a vibrant extravaganza of light over the harbor. To view the show from a unique perspective, Outside Hilton Head offers special "Fireworks Paddle" guided kayak tours during the summer.

A word from our guests:
We had a wonderful vacation in Hilton Head. Shannon, you sounded great and I am always impressed with the way you make everything you do seem so fresh, even though you have to do it over and over each night. You mix it up well, and the parents love it as much as the kids. Truly impressive. - WB, 4/30/07
Shannon - I just want to let you know how much my family enjoyed your show this past Wednesday at Shelter Cove in HH. We literally stumbled onto your show having just finished dinner at the Parrot's Cove. Congrats on finding a way to entertain three generations - impressive. We have enjoyed HH for many, many years and will be sure to add seeing you to our list of "must-do's" while on the island. Have a great summer and thank you again for a wonderful evening! - Jim, 4/28/07
