Returning again in 2020 is Seaborn Oyster Co. and their immersive oyster education classes that introduce the basics of oysters and oyster farming through four one-hour classes designed to provide attendees with the skills and insight needed to shuck and enjoy oysters on their own through a tasting of a dozen different oyster varieties. Classes are available as add-ons to festival passes during the purchasing process and are limited to 15 participants each.

High Water has again teamed up with several local non-profits: The Green Heart Project, Charleston Waterkeeper, and Water Mission, for its successful Earned Ticket Program. The Earned Ticket Program allows those interested in attending High Water to complete a set number of community service hours-specifically for one of the festival's charitable partners-as an alternate way to earn a ticket to the event weekend. More details about Earned Ticket Program opportunities, required hours, and shifts will be available in the coming months.
