12 Nights of Fireworks Lit Up the Hilton Head Sky
This summer, HarbourFest once again brought Hilton Head Island to life with 12 breathtaking firework shows, nightly live entertainment, and endless fun for families. The season wrapped up in spectacular fashion on August 19, 2025, when the final bursts of color illuminated the sky over Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina.
Sing-Alongs & Smiles with Shannon Tanner & Cappy the Clown
Shannon Tanner performed shows every Monday through Thursday evening with the crowd singing back the words to favorite classics. And in-between shows, kids would line up for Shannon to sign their hat. Parents danced the night away with their children, some of whom also took to the stage to perform their song of choice. Right by the stage is the kindest clown you’ll ever meet – Cappy the Clown. Kids line up to make their face painting request, ask for their favorite balloon animal or to create their own sand art creation. Cappy loved interacting with the kids and reuniting with guests over the summer.
Train Rides, Bouncy Houses & Family Fun for All Ages
The HarbourFest train took families on scenic rides along Shelter Cove’s promenade, while the bouncy houses kept kids busy with pure vacation joy. After the excitement of the music and activities, the crowd turned toward Broad Creek, where fireworks painted the night sky in brilliant colors.
