Where Entertainment Happens!
Welcome to my Charleston Events Calendar! 
Here you will find the best Charleston events listed throughout the year. Abounding with arts and culture, Charleston, SC is quickly becoming an epicenter of entertainment. (If you'd like to add your event to our calendar, just click on the pertinent month and scroll to the submission form.)
Below I have listed prominent festivals and events that take place annually in the Tri-County area. Keep in mind that an annual event may sometimes take place in a month other than what is listed below, usually to accommodate holidays that are early or late. So check the months before and after if you aren't able to find what you're looking for. We also may not have received the event details yet, so come back as time draws closer.
If you don't see an event listed but would like to see it here, please be sure to submit the information at the bottom of this page. You'll see the wide variety of things to do year round throughout the Lowcountry. With some of the best South Carolina events out there, Charleston is definitely a happening place! I've been to many of these, but my all time favorite is the Spoleto Festival Finale at Middleton Place! For a price that is about $10-15 more than normal admission, you get a whole day's worth of diversified, cultural entertainment. Not only do you have the opportunity to walk and tour the gorgeous grounds, gardens, house and live stock, but you can also bring a picnic with chairs and a blanket, and then enjoy a performance by the Spoleto Orchestra which culminates with an impressive fireworks display. It's awesome! My biggest advice for this event... stay hydrated and bring sunscreen. It's in June and it can be HOT! Scratch that... it IS HOT! Still, in my opinion, its definitely one of the top Charleston events. Needless to say you'll always have something to do in Charleston! So gather up your friends, your significant other or your kids and get out there!
