CELEBRATING CHARLESTON'S HISTORY AND CULTURE SINCE 1947
The Charleston Festival is Historic Charleston Foundation's most anticipated fundraising event of the year!
Historic Charleston Foundation has celebrated houses, history, and culture through its annual spring festival. Founded as the Festival of Houses and Gardens, after more than 75 years, the spring festival has evolved into a larger, and more holistic celebration of Charleston’s history, architecture, culture, and community. Now, affectionately known as The Charleston Festival, this highly anticipated fundraising event will continue to present House & Garden Tours and engaging lectures, in addition to a variety of new programs and venues to explore for the 2026 season — March 18 through April 11, 2026.
