🚨 Tonight’s High Steppin’ Country performance has been canceled. 🚨

Due to the Grand Strand Beach Renourishment Project currently taking place in front of Lakewood Camping Resort, tonight’s show will not be held.

The beautiful Atlantic Ocean is more than just our view—it’s the backdrop to every High Steppin’ Country performance. Protecting and preserving our shoreline is essential to ensuring that generations of guests can continue to enjoy both our beach and the unique experience of our oceanfront show. While we’re disappointed to miss tonight’s performance, we’re grateful for this important investment in our coastline.

Thank you for your understanding and support. 💙

✨ We’ll be back on stage Tuesday night and can’t wait to welcome everyone back! ✨
