Thank You to Everyone Who Came Out for the First Hilton Head Island Lantern Parade

lantern parade 1

On November 9th we all came together to create Hilton Head Island's largest temporary public art installation. Every person with a lantern was a part of the art, as we all danced with artist Chantelle Rytter's magical creations and contributed our own to the installation. And all the spectators completed the experience

Thank you to each and every one of you for putting our most creative community on display.

We are extremely lucky to have the talent that inhabits the Hilton Head Island music scene. I am certainly biased in presenting this fact, but I am so excited for the “Grateful Dead Weekend at Coligny Theatre” this Friday and Saturday.

Not only is this event an excellent show for music appreciators young and old, it represents a talented community of dedicated musicians like Craig Coyne, Jevon Daly and Eric Reid. Dudes who have definitely practiced their skills and beaten their own path into the Lowcountry music titans they are today.

This weekend we celebrate one of America’s greatest bands, the Grateful Dead, we also raise funds and awareness for a great cause, The Boys and Girls Club of HHI.
