Spoleto Festival USA is committed to being not just a significant event that happens in Charleston, but also a significant part of Charleston. To further this goal, Spoleto Festival USA works hard to make sure that all members of the community have the opportunity to be a part of the Spoleto experience.
Every year, the Open Stage Door program distributes complimentary tickets to a variety of Festival performances.
