Hey, Charleston! Mark your calendars because on November 7, from 6 to 9 p.m., something exciting is about to happen.

If you’re looking for a wonderful evening filled with fun, great food, and community spirit, this is the place to be!
A Night to Remember
So what can you expect? The celebration will take place in the beautiful courtyard of Edmund’s Oast, creating the perfect atmosphere for a lively gathering. With the backdrop of the evening sky, you’ll enjoy live entertainment by the incredible Aisha Kenyetta and Friends. Her music promises to set the perfect mood for mingling and celebration.
Culinary Delights Await
If you’re a foodie, you’re in for a treat! The event will feature mouth-watering food and refreshing beers from Edmund’s Oast, plus some specialty wines from Graft. It’s a culinary journey right in your neighborhood! This is not just an event; it’s a feast for the senses that brings the community together over shared tastes and laughter.
Supporting a Great Cause
Buying a ticket is not only your passport to a delightful evening but also a meaningful way to support a great cause. All the proceeds from this event will directly fuel the advocacy of Charleston Moves. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to enhancing bicycle, pedestrian, and public transit infrastructure across Charleston County. They believe in creating a community where safe transportation options connect people to essential resources like food, healthcare, and jobs.
Progress on the Move
Let’s take a quick peek at some of the great strides Charleston Moves has accomplished recently. With the funds raised through events like Pedal & Panache, they have:
- Expanded their network by adding five miles of new multi-use paths across the county.
- Advanced the Ashley River Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge, which will be the first cable-stayed pedestrian swing bridge in the country.
- Supported the installation of the region’s first bike box in Mount Pleasant.
These wins are paving the way for safer and more enjoyable means of transport in our beloved Charleston.
The Exciting Silent Auction
But that’s not all! An online silent auction is currently open and runs until November 7 at 10 p.m.. You’ll find 18 unique and carefully curated packages available for bidding. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or anything in between, there’s bound to be something that piques your interest. And, even if you can’t make it to the event, you can still participate in the auction – how cool is that?
This year, Charleston Moves also introduced two additional packages aimed specifically at letting supporters contribute directly to targeted advocacy efforts. It’s a fantastic way to know your contributions are going exactly where they’re needed!
