Charleston’s reputation as a vibrant cultural destination continues to rise, and Veranda recently celebrated the city’s dynamic arts scene in its feature “This Southern City Is a Rising Modern Cultural Mecca Brimming with Galleries, Festivals, and Charm.” Among the highlights: Spoleto Festival USA, named as one of Charleston’s premier cultural experiences.
The article captures what makes Spoleto truly singular, describing it as “perhaps the only place you can experience live music among centuries-old oaks that stand as an organic answer to the stone columns of ancient Roman theaters.” It’s a vivid reflection of the Festival’s ability to blend world-class performance with Charleston’s unmistakable sense of place.
For 17 days each spring, Spoleto Festival USA transforms the city into an international stage, presenting more than 100 performances across opera, theater, dance, chamber music, jazz, and contemporary works, set in historic theaters, churches, and iconic outdoor venues.
Being recognized by Veranda underscores Spoleto’s role in shaping Charleston as a cultural destination — one where historic beauty and bold artistic expression meet, creating experiences that can’t be found anywhere else.
