Charleston

Steeped in Southern tradition, Charleston is the crown jewel of South Carolina. Things to do in Charleston include cheering for the minor league baseball team Charleston RiverDogs at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park and minor league ice hockey team the South Carolina Stingrays at the North Charleston Coliseum, exploring Charleston’s lively nightlife culture from King Street and the historic district to North Charleston’s trendy Park Circle neighborhood. Annual Charleston events include Spoleto Festival USA, the Lowcountry Oyster Festival and The Charleston Festival (formerly the Festival of Houses and Gardens) put on by the Historic Charleston Foundation.
