2025 Fall Gala

On the evening of Thursday, November 13, 2025, guests will gather at Union Pier—an exclusive and historically significant site on the Charleston Harbor—for a night of elegance, purpose, and celebration. The 2025 Fall Gala, hosted by Historic Charleston Foundation, is a formal black-tie affair and the Foundation’s most anticipated fundraising event of the year.

Set against the backdrop of Charleston’s evolving waterfront, the evening will feature a refined, sit-down dinner inspired by the Lowcountry’s rich tie to food. Guests will enjoy sweeping views of the harbor, the company of fellow preservation-minded supporters, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through a live fundraising event that directly supports the Foundation’s mission-driven work.

Those reserving Gold and Silver Tables will receive exclusive benefits in recognition of their leadership and commitment to preservation.

All proceeds from the 2025 Fall Gala supports Historic Charleston Foundation’s mission to preserve and sustain the best of Charleston. This work includes the continued stewardship of its two historic house museums—the Aiken-Rhett House, c.1820 and the Nathaniel Russell House, c.1808 — and its advocacy for the future of the Charleston peninsula and the livability of its historic neighborhoods.

This special evening, designed by Tara Guerard, will not only honor the city’s historic fabric, the Foundation’s meaningful work both past and present, and the work that will continue to support a vibrant future for Charleston and its residents.
