About Charleston Events
Charleston's pleasant climate, beautiful scenery and elegant performance venues make it an ideal setting for festivals, conventions and cultural events. Every year, the city hosts Spoleto Festival USA, a national celebration of the arts that features plays, concerts and other live performances. The smaller Piccolo Spoleto Festival is held at the same time and gives local performers a chance to shine. As a popular tourist destination, Charleston also caters to holiday visitors with crowd-pleasing seasonal events including a Christmas Parade and Festival of Lights. Other well-known happenings each year, such as the Candlelight Tour and Festival of Houses and Gardens, showcase the city's beauty and prestige. -- Elizabeth Baxley, 10Best Editor
