FestivALL Fall Opens
FestivALL Fall is underway in Charleston with several arts and culture events through the weekend. Most of the main events take place indoors or in places where traffic is not affected.
The only street closure related to FestivALL Fall events will be for the Charleston Main Streets’ Hops N Heat event at the East End Bazaar tomorrow afternoon. In preparation for the chili and craft beer showcase, Ruffner Avenue will be closed at 10 a.m. between Washington Street, East and Jackson Street.
