For fans of Charleston culture
People come to 2nd Sunday to experience Charleston’s “Main Street”, unobstructed by the usual vehicles parked at the curb and pedestrians trying to saunter side by side on the sidewalk.
But wait; there’s more! A lobster, an oyster, a little shot of Botox, a candle, a jar of honey, a cold local beer, a sweet globe of cotton candy, clothes, shoes, a hat, and art, art, art.
It’s why we love 2nd Sunday! See you there. Noon - 5:00.
The last day of the Piccolo Spoleto Art Exhibition in Marion Square is—wait for it—2nd Sunday June 10! Our friend Tate Nation will be there along with Gerardo Leccese, Colleen Wiessmann and more. These SC artists spend two sometimes grueling weeks outdoors at the festival before returning to their studios and galleries. Pop in for a last look and to take home the art you didn’t know you needed.

Shopping for Mom, fashion for you. Pick up a pair of Maui Jim’s at Tommy Bahama, outside Charleston Place. Cross the street for Spartina 449. Inspired by one of the few remaining unspoiled treasures, Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, Spartina 449 embodies the true beauty and spririt of Island Living. Look for Raine and Grace Candles nearby, or follow your nose to lovely candle scents in innovative packaging.
