About

With stately columns framing its doors, Festival Hall makes a striking first impression within the historic Charleston landscape. Nestled in downtown’s Harleston Village neighborhood—easily walkable from some of the city’s premier hotels and restaurants —its white exterior contrasts with its lush adjoining Alicia’s Garden courtyard and the Southern blue skies above. Step inside, however, and the stark façade gives way to a warm and welcoming industrial style hall with glass paneling, exposed brick, and modern fixtures. Built-in 1939 and renovated in 2008, the structure was redesigned with versatility in mind. Festival Hall has the infrastructure of a classic theater, making it a uniquely accessible and transformative space for any occasion. The main room, equipped with an extensive catwalk system, and theatrical lighting, features movable air walls, providing the opportunity to create various spaces within. An attached back-of-house area can be easily outfitted by diverse food-and-beverage operations, and six side rooms can be utilized as dressing rooms, green rooms, safe-storage, or behind-the-scenes sites for stylists and designers alike.
