ful private tour of Charleston’s Historic

Rainbow Row, and Charleston’s oldest

church, St. Michael’s (circa 1752). During

1 - 4:30 pm

Patriots Point Military Tour

Board an executive coach, travel across the

Cooper River Bridge, take in the expansive

views of the South Carolina shoreline, and

embark on a wonderful journey where

you’ll survey the ships of Patriots Point,

the magnificent aircraft, a reproduced

Vietnam support base camp, and the rest

of the exhibits that make the Patriots Point

Naval and Maritime Museum one of the

most visited attractions in the Carolinas.

The centerpiece of Patriots Point is the

world-famous aircraft carrier USS York-

town, a heavily decorated warship that

was at the “tip of the spear” in America’s

victory in the Pacific during World War II.

You will walk in and around the mystique

of the Destroyer Laffey, DD-459 Submarine

Clamagore, Coast Guard Cutter Ingham,

and a River Patrol Boat used in South

Vietnam.

The Congressional Medal of Honor Mu-

seum, located on board the USS Yorktown,

features interactive exhibits that explain

the origin of the award and what it stands

for. These exhibits tell the stories of brave

Americans who displayed remarkable cour-

age, such as Audie Murphy, Sergeant Alvin

York, and Jimmy Doolittle. Even now, the

Medal of Honor continues to touch the

lives of Americans as the museum pays

special tribute to the first recipients from

the War On Terror, exceptional Americans

who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq

and Afghanistan.

Wear casual clothing, hat, sunscreen,

and comfortable walking shoes.

$75 includes transportation, guides, admis-

sions fees, taxes, and gratuities.

6 - 9 pm A Celebration in the Riviera Theater

Party like it’s 1939! PCCA rolls out the red

carpet at the Riviera Theater, an exquisite

example of romantic Art Deco style. Cur-

rently on the National Registry of Historic

Places, the Riviera is from an elegant

period in Charleston’s rich heritage. Built

Circa 1939, the Riviera opened to great

fanfare and applause and has always benn

a place of significant gatherings and events

for the city gentry and aristocracy. Today,

this stunning landmark has been meticu-

lously restored and preserved, includ-

ing the original exterior, marquee, ticket

booth, etched glasswork, elaborate interior

murals, and stone mosaic entry. Thus, the

Riviera has been transformed into one of

the most unique and ingenious event facili-

ties in America!

The celebration features the Andrew

Thielen Big Band, who has been called

“the southeastern Michael Buble Band

PLUS,” “Big Band music brought into a

new millennium,” and “the best wedding

reception band on the planet.” From swing

to rock to disco tunes, Motown classics,

and a little hip hop too, the band plays and

sings your favorite style of music, all the

songs you love to hum.

The evening will be capped off with a

special celebration of the 2015 PCCA Hall

of Fame inductees.
