Charleston’s calendar rarely has a quiet week. Between oyster festivals, world-class arts programming, and a fashion runway, there’s almost always a reason to visit — and Lowcountry Luxury Limo provides reliable transportation to these events all year long, so getting there is one less thing to worry about.
Whether you’re visiting for a single festival or building a whole trip around the Lowcountry’s event calendar, having a private chauffeur waiting means skipping the parking scramble and traffic delays that come with any large gathering. Here’s a season-by-season look at some of the city’s biggest annual draws.
Winter and Early Spring
Lowcountry Oyster Festival (January) — billed as the world’s largest oyster festival, this one-day event goes through roughly 80,000 pounds of oysters alongside live music, craft beer, and local food vendors. Southeastern Wildlife Expo, or “SEWE” (February) — a three-day showcase blending fine art, conservation education, and outdoor sporting demonstrations. Charleston Wine + Food Festival (March) — a nonprofit celebration of Lowcountry cuisine that supports local foodways while bringing in a world-class lineup of chefs and vintners.
Spring Highlights
Credit One Charleston Open (April) — the largest women’s professional tennis tournament of its kind in the world, held right on Daniel Island. Cooper River Bridge Run (April) — starting in Mount Pleasant, this 10-kilometer race ranks as the third-largest 10K and fifth-largest road race in the country. US Masters Golf Tournament (April) — held at Augusta National in Augusta, GA, the Masters isn’t in Charleston itself, but plenty of our clients base themselves in the Lowcountry and ride over for the week, so we’ve included it here.
