Lymeapalooza: The Festival with Heart

by

Two weeks from today, March 22, 2025, Lymeapalooza—aka Lyme-A-Palooza—blazes into Mount Pleasant with live music and a fierce mission to spotlight Lyme disease awareness. Hosted by Project Lyme, it’s the brainchild of Lowcountry native Sarah Bolden, who’s battled Lyme for 12 years—misdiagnosis, neurological chaos, and a derailed life driving her fire. This isn’t just a gig; it’s a raw rally for those slammed with fatigue, joint pain, and that sneaky bullseye rash. Check the official Lymeapalooza site for the beat.

The buzz hit hard too—Lowcountry Live showcased Sarah on February 20, 2025, calling Mainland Container Co. a “great little place,” while Holy City Sinner posted updates, cementing the “Lyme-A-Palooza” tag. Sarah’s chasing $2,000 for Project Lyme, and X posts from @HolyCitySinner prove it’s blazing—personal stakes and Lowcountry grit in spades. Want to be on the inside? Be a sponsor via Project Lyme—$50 to $1,500 gets you in the fight with perks. Looking for that special memento to remind you of this magical night forever? The Lyme-A-Palooza Online Auction is live and unique with once in a lifetime opportunities!

What’s Cooking at Lymeapalooza?

Why Lymeapalooza Matters Here

South Carolina Lyme Disease Awareness Month Mark Sanford Governors Proclamation

Lyme’s no Northern myth—South Carolina’s tick season is a beast, and we’re targets. Boone Hall hikes, Shem Creek kayaks, backyard hangs—it’s bite central. Miss it, and Lyme guts you: neurological fog, relentless pain, a life flipped, like Sarah’s 12-year hell, as she described on Lowcountry Live. Lymeapalooza, with Project Lyme and Sarah’s Fire, slaps us awake with a riff you can really feel – and relate to!

Locals rally big—oyster roasts to this. It’s your crash course—spot the signs, dodge the ticks—and a stand for fighters like Sarah, who lost it all but kept swinging. That $2,000 could spark more—research, help, education – all right here, in South Carolina. It’s a beat with guts, and Mount Pleasant is the heart keeping it alive.

Hospitality: Lowcountry Welcome

Mainland Container Co. Kitchen & Bar’s your daytime host, dishing warmth—craft beers, that Lymeapalooza IPA, and food with punch, like elevated pub classics. Lowcountry Live loves its “great little place” vibe, and the official site confirms vendors joining—sweet tea or Lowcountry bites on tap. Nearby spots might toss deals—Mount Pleasant’s biz crew often does—check the sponsor page for possibles.

No pups—the official site says no dice—but it’s all-ages and rain-proof with indoor-outdoor flow. Then, post-8:30 pm, the party shifts to the After After Party at The Tattooed Moose Park Circle in North Charleston—free, with music, drinks, and dancing from 10:00 pm to 1:00 am. Mainland Container Co. and vendors keep you fed and refreshed ‘til you hit the next spot.
