For all of you Marvin Gaye fans, the Charleston Music Hall will also be presenting the 3rd annual “Marvin Gaye Experience.” Gaye’s hits will be performed by Brian Owens, an incredible “new voice” in the world of soul music. You can watch a sneak peek video of Owens’ performance on the CMH webpage for the event, in addition to purchasing your tickets. Prices vary for this event depending on seating.

Brittlebank Park will be the site of the 2nd annual Charleston Margarita Festival. VIP entry for the festival begins at 6pm, with General Admission entry from 7pm-10pm. Last year’s boozy festival was both fun and refreshing, but remember that you MUST be 21 and older to enter. Although tickets are all sold out for this year, a portion of proceeds go to Lowcountry Local First–to donate and learn more about LLF, visit their website here.

Many locals may remember the Charleston Music Hall’s “Summer of Bill” in 2017–a successful homage to the films of Charleston resident Bill Murray, which included art exhibits, special film showings, and more. This year, CMH is back with the Summer of Wes. Much like last year’s event, there will be a number of Wes Anderson themed events all around Charleston, consisting mostly of limited film showings at the Charleston Music Hall. Visit the CMH website here for more details on the films and how to attend showings.
