New this year, Baxter Mills Textile Archives staff will be present to showcase their work and collection.

Historic Charleston Foundation advocates for a future for Charleston that honors and protects its people, places, culture, and community.
As the Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser, the net proceeds from ticket sales and donations from patrons of The Charleston Festival provide HCF with critical resources needed to effectively protect one of our nation’s most treasured historic places. This support allows us to use our resources where and when they are most needed to affect successful outcomes against the challenges facing the Charleston community and to provide important educational opportunities for students of all ages. Thank you for your support!
