Shannon Tanner's Hilton Head Show

For thousands of families, Shannon Tanner's performances at Shelter Cove Harbour are one of the most cherished traditions on Hilton Head Island. For more than 35 years, Shannon Tanner has entertained generations of visitors with his high-energy family shows, sing-alongs, storytelling, humor, and original music. His performances have become a signature part of summer on the island, making an evening at Shelter Cove Harbour a must for families visiting Hilton Head 

Throughout the summer, Shannon performs free family shows at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina, delighting audiences of all ages with interactive music, comedy, and audience participation. Children are invited to sing, dance, clap along, and even join Shannon on stage, creating unforgettable vacation memories that many families continue year after year. It's common to see parents who grew up attending Shannon's shows now bringing their own children to experience the tradition. Shannon has been performing his beloved summer family shows for more than three decades and continues to be one of Hilton Head Island's most popular entertainers.

During the summer, Shannon's performances are part of the island's famous HarbourFest celebration at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina. In addition to his family shows, Shannon also performs Parrot Palooza, a lively Jimmy Buffett tribute concert with his band, The Oyster Reefers, bringing island-inspired music and a festive atmosphere to Thursday evenings. HarbourFest also features family entertainment, waterfront shopping, local dining, children's activities, and spectacular Tuesday night fireworks throughout much of the summer. 

Before or after the show, visitors can stroll along the marina, browse unique boutiques, enjoy waterfront restaurants, watch yachts arrive in the harbor, or simply relax while taking in beautiful sunset views over Broad Creek. The combination of live entertainment, waterfront scenery, and family-friendly activities makes Shelter Cove Harbour one of Hilton Head Island's most popular evening destinations. 

Located in the heart of Hilton Head Island, Shelter Cove Harbour is just minutes from Palmetto Dunes, Shipyard, Shelter Cove, Forest Beach, and many of the island's most popular vacation rental communities. Free family shows during HarbourFest typically feature two evening performances, although schedules may vary by season and special events.
