CHARLESTON, S.C. – Before winter weather sweeps through the Lowcountry, the Charleston RiverDogs welcome fans to The Joe for a Saturday of live music and a sampling of shrimp and grits from around Charleston. The RiverDogs open their gates for the Second Annual Shrimp and Grits Food Festival on Saturday, November 10 from 12-3 p.m. at Joe Riley Park.
A variety of local establishments will be on hand including Smoky Oak, Toast, Morgan Creek Grill, Roadside Seafood, Saltwater Cowboys, Bubba Gump, Wando River Grill and more will compete for a People’s Choice Award, Judge’s Choice Award, and a $500 grand prize. Individuals who think they have the best shrimp and grits in town can also contact the RiverDogs about entering the contest.
Along with a smattering of the local favorite dish, fans will have access to a cash bar including Bloody Marys, Mimosas and live music by the Blue Plantation Band.
Other attractions include a Kid’s Zone for younger fans and a Vendor Village featuring a host of local businesses in attendance.
