June 2022 Charleston SC Events
As the summer heats up and we head into June, there’s a lot to look forward to and much to celebrate. June is Pride Month, and we recognize the LGBTQ+ community with local events including a parade downtown (25th) and more found here and here. Charleston’s Spoleto Festival USA and Piccolo Spoleto Festival are well underway and there are still many exciting events left to see before they end on June 12th. We can then break out our red, white and blue to commemorate Flag Day (14th) and prepare for Independence Day before honoring our fathers on Father’s Day (19th). Juneteenth falls on a Sunday this year so it’s observed on Monday (20th), which is also the first day of summer. For more reasons to have some fun, check out our list below of Charleston happenings (with links provided) as well as these themed holidays for June. There’s truly something for everyone!
