It’s not fall until you’ve been to the Harvest Festival in the Olde Village of North Charleston. Celebrate autumn in the Lowcountry on Saturday, Oct. 21 from 4-7 p.m. at this free event.

Shop til you drop

Peruse the artist market featuring fine art and crafts by locals while listening to live music by New Ghost Town.

Got wares to sell? Apply to be a vendor by Friday, Oct. 13.

Dress to the nines

Grab your friends and start planning your costumes. Compete in the costume contest in either the youth, groups, or pet category. Line up in costume at 5:45 p.m. and then the judging is on at 6 p.m.

Make memories last at photo opportunities.

Just for kids

There will be craft activities, games, and entertainment for the kiddos. Plus, a petting zoo from Crosswind Farms.

But don’t miss out on trick-or-treating on the street from 4-6 p.m. for kids ages 12 and under.

That reminds us. What are you dressing up as this year? We’re looking for the ultimate Charleston-inspired costume. Inspire us.
