Heads up for anyone who loves music, theater, parties, or Charleston… the Spoleto Festival 2016 performance schedule is live and tickets can now be purchased (as of today).
When people ask me when they should visit Charleston I always tell them during Spoleto or Jubilee. Spoleto spans from May 27th to June 12th this year (perfect time of year weather wise) and it’s packed with the best performance schedule I’ve seen them put out yet. So I wanted to give all of you a heads up so you can get your tickets and and make your plans!
Here are the shows that I am not missing this year!
