It's Almost Here: Upper King Design District Design Walk Thursday, October 23rd

Charleston’s Upper King Design District is pleased to announce our Fall Design Walk, Thursday October 23--just a week away--from 5:00-8:00 pm. From Calhoun to Spring, stores will remain open late for shoppers, offering special events and refreshments. Many restaurants in the District will have food and wine specials after 8:00 pm, plus The Charleston Ballet Theatre will offer a free performance of dances from their upcoming season beginning at 8:00 pm.

This year’s Design Walk is particularly special because it is the kickoff event for Charleston Magazine and Charleston Home’s new Charleston Home Market, October 23 - 25. This new event offers a Lowcountry stop to fall buying trips by pairing Southeastern interior designers, architects and buyers, as well as area residents, with Charleston-made goods and the local artisans who create them.

Many of the Upper King Street businesses will hold their own special events during the evening. Watch this space for updates. Here are just a few:
