Charleston Events

Charleston events bring the charm year-round—from springtime garden parties to oyster roasts and moonlit jazz in the park.

This city knows how to celebrate, and our guides make sure you know exactly when and where to join the fun.

Festive, Flavorful, and Full of Character

Spring kicks off with house and garden tours, art walks, and food festivals that fill the historic streets.

Summer brings beach concerts, 4th of July fireworks, and rooftop happy hours with harbor views.

Fall means harvest events, spooky history tours, and food & wine weekends galore.

Winter is cozy and bright, with holiday markets, tree lightings, and candlelit tours through centuries-old homes.

The Big and the Beautifully Local

Yes, Charleston hosts blockbuster events—but the charm is in the details.

Think porch concerts, shrimp boils, art markets in churchyards, and neighborhood parades where everyone waves.

Because sometimes the best memories come from the unexpected.
