formerly the festival of houses and gardens
The Charleston Festival is Historic Charleston Foundation's largest fundraising and educational event of the year.
Historic Charleston Foundation has celebrated houses, history, and culture through its annual spring festival since its founding in 1947. After 78 years, the anual spring festival evolved into a holistic celebration of Charleston’s history, architecture, culture, and community. Now, affectionately known as The Charleston Festival, this month-long 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 2025 season - March 13 through April 13.
