Get ready to rock Riverfront like a “Wagon Wheel.” Darius Rucker’s Riverfront Revival returns in exactly one month on Friday, Oct. 11 + Saturday, Oct. 12. Riverfront Revival is a two-day music festival held at Riverfront Park in North Charleston. It is described on the event’s website as a love letter to country music and the Lowcountry.

Event details
  • Gates open: Friday at 4 p.m. + Saturday at 12 p.m.
  • Performances: Friday 5-11 p.m. + Saturday 1-11 p.m.
Lineup
  • Each year, the festival showcases a mix of local musicians along with established and up-and-coming artists from country and rock genres. This year’s lineup features Sister Hazel, Arrested Development, Jamey Johnson, and Collective Soul, to name a few. There’s no question the main event is two-time GRAMMY Award-winning band (and SC-made) Hootie & the Blowfish.

From the editor
I understand that boiled peanuts are a southern delicacy (which I love), but the tomato sandwich has got to be universal. I can’t believe everyone doesn’t enjoy a juicy, farm-fresh sandwich during the summer.

Take the poll above and let me know which “weird” southern snacks you love.
