Early February is one of the quieter times of year to visit Charleston, before the warmer weather and blossoming flowers bring the real crowds of spring.
Charleston’s biggest February weekend is the days of the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, which brings thousands of visitors to the city each year. You can also enjoy winter food and drink festivals, take part in art walks or charity races, or attend a special event at one of Charleston’s local attractions.
