Jennifer writes for Beachside Getaway, sharing travel tips, top things to do, and the best places to stay to help guests make the most of their Hilton Head Island vacation.
One of the best things about vacationing on Hilton Head is that you're close to much more than beaches and golf courses. While you'll find plenty of live music in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina throughout the year, some of the biggest touring acts skip smaller coastal venues and head straight to nearby Savannah. That's where Enmarket Arena comes in.
Located less than an hour from Hilton Head Island, this modern entertainment venue regularly hosts major concerts, comedy tours, family shows, and sporting events. If you're visiting the island in 2026 and want to add a concert night to your vacation, here's what you need to know before heading to Savannah.

Why Enmarket?
Opened in 2022, Enmarket Arena has quickly become one of the premier entertainment venues in coastal Georgia. The arena seats nearly 10,000 guests, making it large enough to attract major touring acts while still offering a more intimate experience than larger venues in Atlanta, Charlotte, or Jacksonville.
The venue is also home to the Savannah Ghost Pirates hockey team and hosts a steady calendar of concerts, comedy shows, family entertainment, and special events throughout the year.
For Hilton Head visitors looking beyond the island's local music scene, Enmarket Arena makes it possible to catch nationally touring artists without spending an entire day on the road.

What to Know Before You Go
Enmarket Arena Clear Bag Policy
Nothing is worse than showing up at a venue and being told you have to walk back to your car because your bag isn't allowed inside. Knowing what kind of bag you can have and what items you're allowed to bring into Enmarket Arena is one of the most important things to check out before concert day. Here's how it breaks down:
You may bring:
- One clear bag no larger than 14" x 14" x 6"
- One small clutch, purse, or wallet no larger than 4.5" x 6.5"
- Medical and Diaper bags are allowed, but must be inspected
All bags are subject to inspection before entry.
Because policies can change between events, it's always smart to verify the latest information directly with the venue before arriving.
Parking at Enmarket Arena
Parking is available on-site for most events and can often be purchased in advance. Event parking prices vary, so check your ticket information before arrival.
Pay attention to the traffic from Hilton Head to Savannah and make sure to give yourself enough time to find parking and get to your seat before the show starts. Typically, arriving 30-40 minutes before show time is sufficient.
Driving from Hilton Head Island to Enmarket Arena
One reason Enmarket Arena is so popular with Hilton Head visitors is how easy it is to reach.
Most travelers can make the trip in about 50 minutes, depending on traffic.
The simplest route takes you off Hilton Head via William Hilton Parkway and across the bridges toward Bluffton before connecting with US-17 into Savannah. Once you reach the city, Enmarket Arena is located just west of the historic district at 620 Stiles Avenue.
If you're planning to attend a weekend concert, give yourself a little extra time. Traffic around Savannah can become busy before major events, particularly during the summer travel season.
