Spring
Spoleto Festival USA
Late May into June, seventeen days of opera, theater, and music across the city. The busiest stretch of the year downtown.
What's Happening
Charleston Events
From game days to theater nights, here's what fills the Charleston calendar year-round.
Spring
Festival Season
The Wine and Food Festival in March, the Cooper River Bridge Run in April, and garden tours through both months.
Summer
Beaches and Baseball
RiverDogs at home, Folly and Sullivan's full, and the heat that sends locals inside by two in the afternoon.
Fall
The Second Peak
September to November is the other high season, with the Coastal Carolina Fair and mild weather all the way to Thanksgiving.
Year Round
Weddings
Nearly every weekend, and wedding parties book by the house rather than the room.
Winter
The Quiet Stretch
January and February are the only genuinely soft months, and a monthly rate goes a long way in them.
