It’s finally fall here in Charleston! October is one of our all time favorite months of the year. The temperatures are typically beautiful–still warm enough to enjoy the beach during the day but a little chill in the air at night. There are so many great events going on this month but here are some of our top picks:
- Follypalooza Cancer Benefit (October 12): Head over to Folly Beach on Saturday, October 12th for the 11th annual Follypalooza. The family-friendly street festival will include live music, free games, activities and vendors including art, crafts, food and more. Tickets are $6 in advance (or $10 at the door) and proceeds go to help local cancer patients with medical bills.

Enjoy curated wines and explore the plantation’s 125 acres set along the picturesque Ashley River. Tickets are $25 ($15 for members).

The annual event takes place at the Exchange Park in Ladson and offers live entertainment, rides, exhibits and more throughout the eleven day festival.
