September 17-20: Don’t miss the Hilton Head Island Jam Songwriter Festival. The Island Jam is a free, multi-venue songwriter festival held every September on Hilton Head Island. Each year, the writers behind country and pop music’s biggest hits come down from Nashville and join the Lowcountry’s best rooms for four days of original music — told in the round and up close. Now in its fourth year, HHIJ has grown into one of the Southeast’s most distinctive musical events: 5,000+ attendees, 30+ songwriters, eight-plus iconic Hilton Head venues, all of it open to anyone on the Island. Presented by the Town of Hilton Head Island. For more information, visit www.hiltonheadislandjam.com.
