Special Events Committee - Oct 28, 2026
The committee is reviewing permits for numerous high-profile community events, holiday parades, and charity runs scheduled from late 2026 through mid-2027. These events bring significant foot traffic, tourism, and community engagement to downtown Charleston but require careful coordination regarding street closures and public safety.
