Second Sunday on King Street
Sunday, July 9
A once a month opportunity! Experience Charleston’s “Main Street”, unobstructed by all the usual vehicles parked at the curb and pedestrians trying to saunter side by side on the sidewalk.
Stroll, shop and dine along famous King Street all afternoon long without any traffic. I recommend starting at Calhoun and working your way down.
Starlight Cinema Series at Freshfields Village
Wednesday, July 12
Bring a blanket, a chair and your family for this summer movie series at Freshfields on Kiawah. Every Wednesday through July 26 will feature a new family-friendly movie starting at 8:30. The best part? It’s free!
This week’s movie is Sing 2. Theater owner Buster Moon sets his sights on producing a brand-new musical with his troupe in the glamorous Redshore City. To gain the support of a ruthless music mogul, he pitches that he’ll feature Clay Calloway, a legendary but elusive rock singer as part of the show. Now, all the group needs to do is find the recluse and persuade him to perform with them. This movie is PG and runs 112 minutes.
