The green scene here in Charleston is thriving, and local events are popping up everywhere. From festivals and fairs, to happy hours and meetups, chances are you’ll find something fun to attend.
If we’ve missed an event that you think the local sustainability scene would be interested in, please share it with us. We’ll get it on the calendar as soon as possible. If you are looking for events from months past, check out our local event archive.
If you would like Go Green Charleston to be a part of your event, let us know! We have a booth-ready interactive recycling game that we’ve used at events like the Charleston Green Fair and Earth Day Festival. We love to get out and spread the word about local sustainability.
