[MOUNT PLEASANT] – Nothing says summer like listening to beach music and dancing the night away on the Mount Pleasant Pier. The Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission’s (CCPRC) popular Shaggin’ on the Cooper series, and its 21-and-up only partner event Friday Night Boogie, are back in July.
On July 14, Shaggin’ on the Cooper will feature live music from The Sneakers. The event will be preceded by the season’s final Friday Night Boogie on July 13 featuring DJ Jim Bowers.
As summer settles on the South, these music and dance events will be held monthly at the Mount Pleasant Pier (see schedule below). Spend evenings on the pier with a date or head out to meet new friends, kick back and relax while taking in the fresh air and fun atmosphere. Gates for both events open at 7 p.m. and music starts at 8 p.m. Shaggin’ on the Cooper is open to all ages (participants ages 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult), and Friday Night Boogie guests must be age 21 or older.
All Shaggin’ on the Cooper and Friday Night Boogie events are held at the foot of the 1250-foot-long pier next to Memorial Waterfront Park, the perfect spot to catch cool breezes, beautiful scenery, and views of Charleston Harbor and the Ravenel Bridge. Beverages are available for purchase on site, and food is available for sale at the Mount Pleasant Pier’s River Watch Café. Food and beverages are not included in ticket prices.
