High Tide Music Festival

High Water Festival Provided a Range of Tastes for Charleston Music Lovers | Eater Carolinas

"Wrapping up its third year, I found the High Water Festival to be a pretty well-oiled machine with the formula down pat: great music, great food, and so-so beer that nevertheless made for happy festivalgoers. Maybe it was the perfect weather, because everyone was just so damn nice. The lineup mixed Charleston staples (Lewis Barbecue, Roti Rolls, Verde) with out-of-towners like Corndog Inc. and Hebros Kitchen, so there was something for everyone — even my gluten-free, vegan friend. Despite the festival's big focus on sustainability, the recycling/trash situation was confusing and inconsistent; I heard people quip, “Is this trash or recycling? Doesn’t matter, it’s all the same thing,” which left me hoping there was a volunteer sorting through flower crowns and beer cans afterward, though I suspected otherwise." - Eater Staff
