Shucked (21+ Only) | In Partnership with Experience Mount Pleasant, Supported by SAVEUR
This local fan-favorite highlights one of Charleston’s most cherished delicacies – oysters. Guests will have the chance to taste their way around the Lowcountry waters, savoring bivalves shucked by the purveyors themselves. The event features a traditional oyster roast, and showcases oysters prepared in a variety of ways—steamed, raw, on the half-shell, grilled, and more—alongside other seafood-forward dishes. The wine will be flowing, cocktails will be on ice, and beers will be popped as you enjoy a tour of the local oyster varieties. It’s a shellebration you won’t want to miss!
When: Thursday, March 6, 2025 | 4 PM – 6:30 PM
Where: Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park (99 Harry M. Hallman Jr. Blvd.)

Island Time, in Partnership with Experience Mount Pleasant (21+ Only)
Charleston Wine + Food’s beloved event, Island Time, is making an appearance once again on the Festival schedule. Anchored in Caribbean cuisine and featuring the sips and sounds from the Islands, Island Time embodies and honors the influences of the Caribbean on the Lowcountry. These influences are best seen in our foodways, which mirror those of the African diaspora and its influence on local ingredients. The results are, simply, delicious. This Caribbean-rooted event will feature local spirits, island-inspired cocktails, and top-notch food featuring bold, fresh, and flavorful profiles from a crew of chefs with deep Caribbean roots. Join us for an energetic day filled with unforgettable flavor.
When: Friday, March 7, 2025 | 2 PM – 4:30 PM
Where: Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park (99 Harry M. Hallman Jr. Blvd.)

Losa Rose Wine Lunch (21+ Only)
Step inside James Beard award-nominated Chef Kevin Johnson’s neighborhood joint, Lola Rose, where he and a special guest have a “Big Day” planned to save Paradise with an over-the-top lunch rooted in Italian ingredients and techniques. For fans of the culinary cult classic film, Big Night, you know you are in for a treat. While they won’t follow Chef Primo’s menu exactly, they do promise to have timpano and Louis Prima! Wines will be flowing and food will be plentiful at this seriously delicious lunch. Salute!

Big Shrimpin’ in Partnership with Experience Mount Pleasant (21+ Only)
We are pretty “shellfish” about our seafood down here in the Lowcountry, but we are willing to share at this crustacean celebration. Crack some crabs, peel a few shrimp, or try a crawfish at this shockingly fun shindig. Chefs will be showing off their best seafood dishes and ice-cold suds and bubs will be flowing with the Lowcountry waterways as the backdrop. What could be better?
When: Sunday, March 9, 2025 | 2 PM – 4:30 PM
Where: Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park (99 Harry M. Hallman Jr. Blvd.)
