Lowcountry Oyster Festival

Pack up your chairs, picnic blankets, and—of course—oyster knives for a Lowcountry tradition inviting folks to shuck boatloads of bivalves while hanging out on the scenic grounds of Boone Hall Plantation. A food court is filled with fare from area restaurants, party band The Distinguished Gentlemen is among the performers taking the stage, and a children’s area keeps the kids busy. Boone Hall Plantation, 1235 Long Point Rd., Mount Pleasant. Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. $25-$17.50; $125 VIP; free for child under 10. (843) 853-8000, www.charlestonrestaurantassociation.com
