House & Garden Tours

A hallmark of our annual spring programming, the stunning house and garden tours allow guests to explore Charleston's architecturally significant structures from the 17th century through today. 

Living Local Events

Inspired by the very best of the Lowcountry, The Charleston Festival’s Living Local event series is the perfect compliment to your event schedule. Living Local events include performances at new venues during the Festival Music Series and a variety of Charleston Socials to mix and mingle like we do in the Lowcountry.
