This Thanksgiving week, Kiawah Island Club Members enjoyed a full slate of festive favorites—from Family Bingo Night and the Turkey Trot to Champagne Shopping, Glow Golf, and more. But the highlight of the holiday week was undoubtedly the return of Rock the River, featuring a spectacular performance by GRAMMY-winning artist Darius Rucker!

Over 4,000 Club Members and their families gathered on the picturesque River Course for a sun-soaked fall afternoon by the water. The pre-concert festivities on the driving range offered something for everyone: a lively food village showcasing small plates from every Club restaurant, bars including a Bloody Mary and mimosa station, children’s activities, a DJ, and more. Guests indulged in delights ranging from ceviche tostadas to Korean BBQ brisket, courtesy of B-Liner, The Cape Club, Marsh House, River Room, and Cassique.

As the afternoon progressed, attendees made their way to the 18th green for the riverside concert. Musical performances kicked off with Holler Choir, followed by the highly anticipated headliner, Darius Rucker. Concert-goers also enjoyed lawn games and an array of sweet treats, including shaved ice and macarons, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere for all ages.

A heartfelt thank you to this year’s sponsors—Go Rentals, Kiawah Island Real Estate, Landmark Builders, Worth Media, Stanley 1913, Ketel One, and Surfside—for helping make Rock the River 2025 such a memorable event.
