City of Charleston to host Labor Day celebration at The Joe with concert, fireworks

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The City of Charleston announced Tuesday it will host a Labor Day celebration at “The Joe,” featuring a concert from the Charleston Symphony.

The event will be free to attend, but guests must reserve tickets for the event.

City leaders said the concert will begin at 8:00 p.m. and will be followed by fireworks, thanks in part to The Charleston Place.

“The Charleston Symphony will perform a program featuring music by John Williams, Duke Ellington and many other pops favorites,” Charleston officials said in a press release.

The city originally planned to host a family-friendly event at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park, featuring the Charleston Symphony and fireworks, over the July 4 weekend, but that event was canceled because of rain.

Those who booked tickets for the free July 2^nd concert and want to attend the new Labor Day Celebration will need to re-book, as tickets will not automatically transfer.

Concessions will be available for purchase from the RiverDogs hospitality team.
