Where to watch the Charleston Air Show ✈️👇
If you’re heading to Mount Pleasant, grab a spot at Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park — one of the BEST views of the Blue Angels over the harbor. You can also catch it from spots along the waterfront or even nearby public areas with a clear view of the Ravenel Bridge + harbor.
⏰ What to know:
The show is Saturday (May 2) from 1–3 PM over Charleston Harbor — totally free, no tickets needed.

• Expect major congestion + delays getting into Mount Pleasant and downtown
• The Ravenel Bridge will fully close ~1:30–3 PM 🚫
• Lane closures start Friday + earlier Saturday
• Pedestrian walkway closed 10:30 AM–3:30 PM
👉 Translation: get there EARLY, stay put, and don’t plan to leave right after
