Charleston, a city full of historical gems and artistic brilliance, has a lineup of exciting events arranged for the week of July 3. Here is the rundown of activities to help residents and tourists plan their week.
Get your adrenaline rushing with the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series at James Island County Park. The triathlon, which includes a 600-yard freshwater swim, 12-mile bike ride, and 5K flat run, will take place on July 7 from 7:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Known as one of Charleston’s top ten signature sport events, the Triathlon attracts over 30,000 participants every year.
Be a part of the local scene at the James Island Town Market. Hosted on every first Friday of the month from May to December, the market will be held on July 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. The marketplace will display the produce and products of local vendors, food trucks, craft artisans, and musicians. In addition, there will be fun lawn games, kids’ activities, and more. Be sure to bring along a lawn chair, water, and your pets. Entry is free.
Dive into the intriguing past with a discussion on ‘Cherokees in the Revolutionary Era’ scheduled for July 7. Providing insights into the events that occurred when South Carolina colonists began to air their grievances against the rule of Great Britain, the discussion will provide a unique historical perspective. The event is sponsored by South Carolina Humanities and is free to attend but requires advance registration.
Bring out your artistic side at Cafe Society’s first open mic night at the Gibbes Museum of Art. Held on July 10 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., the event invites guests with a three to five-minute story, poem, song, or performance on the theme of ‘passages’ – a rite of passage, a physical migration, or any other crossing.
Engage your kids in an exploration of nature with ‘Kid Tours: Wriggling Reptiles’. The event, to be held on July 10 at 3:30 p.m., will showcase fascinating reptiles from the collection of The Charleston Museum. Kids can also indulge in crafts, creating their own silly snakes.
