Columbus Day weekend in Charleston, SC kicks off with an Art Walk, an event showcasing local artists and giving locals and tourists alike a chance to peruse many galleries, some of which offer free wine and appetizers. The weather in Charleston, SC will most likely still be pleasant in Charleston, almost like summer but without the high humidity. The temperate climate draws in tourists from cooler regions, making hotel bookings a bit more difficult. A visit to the French Quarter and the Battery districts can be enjoyed alone or on a walking tour, and don’t miss exploring Fort Sumter, the location where the first shots of the Civil War were fired.
