Charleston is buzzing with excitement as the “Mystical Market” is set to take place on November 2nd from 1 PM to 5 PM at the Palmetto Brewing Company. It’s a wonderful opportunity for locals and visitors alike to immerse themselves in a celebration of books, community, and of course, delicious craft beer. This event, organized by the FRIENDS of the Library and Finnegan Publishing Group, promises something for everyone!

A Perfect Pairing for Community and Creativity

As we step into the bustling fall season, the partnership between these two community-focused organizations is all about fostering creativity and encouraging literacy. According to Leah Donaldson, the Executive Director of FRIENDS of the Library, “Charleston FRIENDS of the Library is dedicated to empowering literacy and learning and is thrilled for the opportunity to partner with Finnegan Publishing Group. The market will feature a variety of books, genres, and vendors – something for everyone!”

What better way to spend a Saturday than by connecting with local authors, supporting small businesses, and enjoying refreshing brews while knowing that you are giving back to the community? Palmetto Brewing Company will contribute by donating $1 from every pint sold during the event to the Charleston FRIENDS of the Library. It’s a win-win situation—you sip your favorite craft beer while supporting literacy programs in Charleston!

What to Expect

The Mystical Market will have an array of exciting offerings, ensuring that there’s something for everyone, regardless of age or interests. Book lovers can look forward to a big book sale hosted by FRIENDS, which features:

A Voice for Self-Published Authors

Speaking of local vibes, the event will also feature authors from the Finnegan Publishing Group, a hub for self-published creatives. Their founder, Allison Paige, expresses their mission by stating, “As a self-published author, I wanted a place that let authors retain control over their work. We are here to relieve the pressure involved in creating a book so authors can do what they do best: write!”

Finnegan Publishing Group is committed to equality, both in the authors they work with and the diverse stories they produce. Their presence at the Mystical Market allows attendees to meet local authors and discover unique stories that often don’t get the spotlight they deserve.

Join in the Fun!

So mark your calendars for November 2nd and get ready to partake in a delightful afternoon filled with literature, local vendors, and community spirit. Remember, whether you’re a book aficionado or just someone who enjoys good company and cold beer, the Mystical Market has something for everyone!

Let’s come together to support local authors, enjoy some great brews, and support literacy in our charming city of Charleston. We can’t wait to see you there!
