Celebrate Gullah Geechee heritage and culture at the Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Festival.
This is the largest showcase of sweetgrass baskets in the Lowcountry. Local basket makers will show their skillful creation alongside unique handmade quilts, paintings and crafts.

Two local documentaries; Bin Yah, There’s no Place Like Home and Grass Roots: The Enduring Arts of the Lowcountry, will be shown at intervals throughout the festival.

The Fifth Annual Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Festival will take place at Laing Middle School at 2213 Highway 17 on Friday June 5th from 3 to 8 PM and Saturday June 6th from 12 to 8 PM.
The annual Sweetgrass Festival is sponsored by the Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Festival Association, The Town of Mt. Pleasant, City of Charleston Piccolo Spoleto, Wando Community Education Program, The International African American Museum and The Charles Pinckney Historic Site, NPS.

The Celtic Ensemble will delight crowds with a blend of contemporary music and traditional Celtic music.

Break It Down Block Party – Charleston, SC

May 28, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

In Charleston the Spoleto and Piccolo Spoleto take over town this time of year. If you’re looking to expand your horizons and try something new and different, we have found an interesting event.

The Break It Down block party in Charleston is part of Piccolo Spoleto and sounds like a fun event. The block party is put together by the talented interns at the Office of Cultural Affairs. You’ll get to enjoy an 80’s cover band, and break dancers performing to today’s music. The event will take you from the music style of the 80’s to today and highlight our environmental progress at the same time. Sounds interesting. You encouraged to step out on the green carpet in your best 80’s or 90’s garb or simply wear an outfit created of recycled material to fit the theme. If that doesn’t sound like you, just go and watch – it’ll be a blast!

The event takes place at the US Custom House on Concord & Markets Streets in Downtown Charleston on Saturday May 30 from 7.00 pm to 11 p.m. For more information visit www.piccolospoleto.com
