2nd Sunday on King Street

Who wants to go Shopping?

Browse local cuisine, art and vendors at this monthly community event.

Every month on the second Sunday the City of Charleston shuts down King Street (our Main Street) from Queen to Calhoun, roughly 1/2 mile, to through traffic and without parked cars, for 5 blissful hours. That opens up the whole street for people to walk around with a big smile, greet friends and neighbors, and enjoy Charleston as it would be on any old day without the traffic. Strolling guests see businesses they didn’t know about, stores roll out past the sidewalk to invite shoppers in, carefully curated artists show their work on the street, and unique food vendors tempt guests with their fare. The street closes to through traffic at noon, and opens back up at 5:00 pm.
