The Palmetto Park Jam welcomed guests to Mount Pleasant’s Palmetto Islands County Park Saturday to indulge in food, beer and live music. The Weigh Station kicked off the event by playing original music as people arrived with chairs and blankets to relax and enjoy the performance.

Guests enjoyed Lowcountry cuisine with a twist at Big Daddy’s LoCo Food Truck, cooled down by snacking on Holy City Italian Ice and sipped beer from a variety of craft vendors. While walking around, guests could also shop local vendors’ offerings or even adopt a dog from the Charleston Animal Society.
