Charleston October Events

“As we all anticipate the holidays just around the corner, we find amusement and humor in the Halloween festivities. Charleston has several fun and interesting activities to welcome in the fall season. Throughout October, enjoy the spooky fright nights at Boone Hall, or take in the Western Skyline on the rooftop at Harold’s Cabin with a holiday themed pop-up. These creative new pop-up events begin with Halloween and many extend through the end of the year. Handsome Properties is not one to miss out on the excitement and we are proud to sponsor two fall events for local charities, explore our list and enjoy the best of fall in the Lowcountry.”
