This event marks the 17th birthday of the Charleston Parks Conservancy, a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to enhancing 24 of Charleston’s public parks. The event proceeds will contribute to ongoing initiatives, including park revitalization, environmental education programs, and community engagement efforts. Tickets are available for purchase at charlestonparksconservancy.
From a charming petting zoo to field games, flower crowns, face painting, and toe-tapping live music from the Green Levels, there is something for everyone at Picnic for the Parks. Plus, indulge in mouthwatering local treats from Welton's Fine Food, The Dewberry, and Hero Doughnuts and Buns. Enjoy refreshing libations for grown-ups from Bevi Bene Brewing Company and Volley Tequila Seltzer, as well as a curated wine bar from Graft Wine Shop.
"The essence of Picnic for the Parks lies in our unwavering belief that communities thrive when they have access to vibrant, well-maintained public spaces," said Darlene Heater, CEO of the Charleston Parks Conservancy. "Our community-funded organization couldn't carry out the crucial work of park revitalization, education programs, and community engagement without the generous support of our community. This event is a celebration and testament to the collective effort that makes our parks beloved and sustainable."
By attending, guests contribute to maintaining Charleston's natural treasures, ensuring its unique and vibrant community thrives. Tickets for the event are $50 for children and $125 for adults.
