There will be affordable food options available for purchase with several food trucks and food cart vendors at the park, who will also offer water and nonalcoholic beverages. Vendors include:
•Wraps Around The World – Specializes in different cultured wraps, sandwiches and tasty desserts
•Semila – Serving authentic Mexican Street Food
•Juice Me – Farm to cup goodness! Smoothies and juices that are local, organic, fresh, and delicious

Residents who live around or near the park are invited to join the audience at the venue or host their own “Porch Party” and enjoy the concert from the comfort of their porch/home with friends and neighbors.
“This is the perfect opportunity to host an informal gathering of your own,” noted Barbara McLaughlin of the Daniel Island POA. “We’ll provide the entertainment for you and your guests!”
The last free outdoor concert in the “Sounds of Summer” series will be held on Friday, July 28, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Pierce Park lawn, featuring the Dave Landeo Band.
