Dancing on the Cooper Returns to the Mount Pleasant Pier in April

Charleston County Parks’ live music and dance series on the Mount Pleasant Pier will return next month. Dancing on the Cooper will host a variety of bands performing different genres of live music throughout the year. The season’s first Dancing on the Cooper will be on April 29th and will feature country/Southern rock group Mason Dixon Band.

Dancing on the Cooper opens at 7 pm and music will run from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Guests can dance under the stars while enjoying a variety of live music genres, including beach/shag, Cuban salsa, funk/soul, rock, jazz, country, Motown, and the greatest hits of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Each event will feature a different local band.

 This year’s musical lineup is:

• April 29th: Classic country and Southern rock music from Mason Dixon Band
• May 20th: Classic oldies and beach music from Shem Creek Boogie Band
• June 10th: Funk, soul, and jazz music from Kae Glass Band
• July 4th: Motown, soul, and pop music from Bobby Alvarez and The Supernaturals in this special Independence Day edition of Dancing on the Cooper called Uncle Sam Jam
  • Charleston County Parks’ annual Uncle Sam Jam event has been canceled for 2023 due to very limited parking during the construction of new amenities at Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park and the anticipation of large July 4th crowds.
• July 22nd: Traditional Cuban jazz and salsa music from Gino Castillo Cuban Jazz Trio
• August 19th: Classic oldies, beach music, and a variety of rock ‘n roll hits from Vinyl Daze
• September 16th: Quintessential ‘80s and ‘90s hits with a side of nerdy comedy from The Spazmatics
