Fall in the Lowcountry-so much to do
It’s official. Fall has come to the Lowcountry. Even though the weather may not agree, you can always count on it changing very soon. So many events are planned for October, it will amaze you.

Starring Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning, the movie will open at the Terrace Theatre with a reception afterwards at the Harbor Club.
The Preservation Society is showing off the Holy City in its 32nd Annual Fall Tour of Houses and Gardens, Thurs.-Sun. in October. Each day will see a different street highlighted.
Area decorative artists and craftsmen will show one of a kind designs at the Charleston Home Market at 10 Storehouse Row at The Navy Yard at Noisette on the 23rd-25th. Think of it like a homegrown High Point Market. Kicking off the event will be the Upper King Street Walk held in the Design District on the 23rd.
