Looking for an Isle of Palms event that is fun for both people and pups? The Isle of Paws Music Festival brings live music, local eats, rescues, and dog-friendly activities to the Recreation Department. 

Music and Dogs: What More Could You Want? 

This music festival on Isle of Palms offers two things that are hard to beat: live music and dogs. Guests can enjoy performances from featured bands New Ghost Town and Flat City Bluegrass while browsing pet-related vendors, meeting local rescues, and grabbing food from trucks and concessions. 

S.T.A.R. will also be on-site for K-9 Good Citizenship Testing, which is a helpful bonus for dog owners interested in training and good manners. Dogs must stay leashed during the event, but the dog park will be available for off-leash time.

The dog show is another fun part of the day, with free contest categories like: 

  • Best Dressed 
  • Cutest Puppy, under 1 year 
  • Best Looking, 1 year and up 
  • Best Male Rescue 
  • Best Female Rescue 

Planning Your Festival Day 

Isle of Paws Music Fest takes place at the Isle of Palms Recreation Department under the oaks. It runs for three hours, which makes it easy to enjoy before dinner or as part of a longer beach day. 

This is a good Isle of Palms music festival for families, dog owners, and anyone looking for a casual evening outdoors. Bring a leash, water for your dog, waste bags, and anything your pet may need to stay comfortable. If you are not bringing a dog, you can still enjoy the music, food, vendors, and friendly atmosphere.
