South Carolina’s High Water Festival brings musicians from all over the world to the beautiful riverfront of North Charleston to create a unique, musical and foodie oasis.
The festival’s two alternating stages will allow attendees to catch all of their favorite performers — and to discover new favorites. And while hearing some of your favorite songs, you can take in gorgeous scenery along the banks of the Cooper River. Or you can take in the laid-back vibes, the region is known for.
In between sets, fans can stop by The Refuge for a bite to eat from local and regional eateries or to a grab a cold craft beer or cocktail — if you’re of age, of course. And you can buy festival and artist merch onsite.
The 2026 edition of High Water Festival will return to North Charleston’s Riverfront Park. Taking place April 18, 2026 – April 19, 2026, the 2026 will be headlined by Alabama Shakes and CAAMP. Rounding out the lineup will be My Morning Jacket, Sheryl Crow, Lake Street Dive, Jesse Welles, Maren Morris, Peach Pit, Watchhouse, Bruce Hornsby and The Noisemakers, Jensen McRae, Ritchy Mitch & the Coal Miners, Arcy Drive, Chance Peña, Trousdale, Penny & Sparrow, The Runarounds, hey, nothing and JOVM mainstay Alice Phoebe Lou.
