What you can expect at this month’s 2nd Sunday; lots of world class shopping, seeing neighbors and friends, live music, Charleston culture and so many memorable experiences.

Brian Livingston Author of The Habits of Squirrels will be at the Info Tent at Liberty Street.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with an irate squirrel. 

In this charming, thoughtful meditation on all of life’s journeys, Brian Livingston finds humor, grace, and sunburn on one of the country’s great hikes. His character encounters the Trail’s eccentric inhabitants, who will help him, challenge him, and ultimately shape his journey and determine what kind of person he wants to be.

Meet Bryan, pick up a copy of his book—we have ours!—and join him on this wonderful squirrley journey.

Music

In addition to our eclectic group of talented buskers, The Charleston Vibes, the Charleston Opera Theater, The Trippentones, an encore performance by the excellent jazz trio you saw at 2nd Sunday last month, and bagpipes leading the Westie Pawrade down king street.

Join the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League (CSOL), and fellow interior design and architectural aficionados for the fall must do “do,” the 27th Annual Kiawah Island Tour of Homes.  As the longest running island house tour in the Lowcountry, the Symphony Tour has become an annual fall destination for Charleston locals and hundreds of visitors to the Lowcountry.

At Wagoween, pups parade through the beautiful Charleston Place courtyard at 205 Market Street, where local celebrity judges award drool-worthy prizes across several costume categories.

Watch as the courageous K9 Unit of the Charleston Police Department demonstrates how it keeps our city safe at 1 PM. Meet Watson and Holmes, the hero horses of the Mounted Patrol and discover more Wagoween surprises!

Wagoween benefits the Charleston Police Department's courageous K9 Unit and public safety initiatives through the LENS Foundation.

Evensong at st Philip’s At 4:00 p.m. on the second Sunday of the month (October through May), St. Philip's offers a service of Choral Evensong, a time of contemplative worship, psalmody, and prayer. Please join; public is invited! A note about Evensong from the Rev. Brian McGreevy: The term “Evensong” is derived from the Old English ​ǣfensang,​ originally applied to the pre-Reformation service of Vespers during the Middle Ages. Contemplative in tone, the liturgy for this service has remained essentially unchanged for some 500 years, and connects us to the countless host of saints who have gone before.
