The Arts Center is proud to usher in the season with the Town's Holiday Kick-Off Festival on Saturday, November 16 from 12-3pm. Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive in style on an antique fire truck to visit with children throughout the free festival, held on the Arts Center grounds.
The day is filled with holiday entertainment from local groups, arts and crafts for all ages, delicious treats from food trucks, a wonderful art market featuring the creations of local vendors (great for buying gifts and supporting local at the same time), and a performance from cast members of the Arts Center’s latest hit, 42nd Streetl!
A Lowcountry holiday tradition that truly is fun for the whole family!
Free Admission for people (and pups) of all ages. Sponsored by the Town of Hilton Head Island
Campers become the cast, crew, and creators of their own original production—writing scripts, building sets, designing costumes, and bringing stories to life. The week ends with a Friday performance for family and friends!

Be bold. Be brave. Save lives. Donate blood at the Arts Center, inside the climate-controlled OneBlood truck in the parking lot!
Kids will sing, dance, and act their hearts out alongside professional artists—building bold characters, mastering scenes, and learning choreography. It all comes together in a high-energy mini showcase in the Black Box on Friday!
