During these 17 magical days and nights, Charleston’s historic theaters, churches, and outdoor spaces will be the backdrop for creative and one of a kind performances by renowned and emerging artists in theater, dance, opera, and music. 

1. Spoleto is internationally recognized as America’s premier performance arts festival.

 So, for two weeks, you have access to a rich and diverse lineup of premiers and artists. Past performers and premiers include Yo Yo Ma and Joshua Bell to plays by Tennessee Williams and Authur Miller.   

2. Intimate, historical, and beautiful venues. 

From the 210-year-old Dock Street Theater to the new Gaillard Center, the setting of Charleston provides charming performance locations in a walkable, stunning city.
