OUTfest takes place on June 6 in the capital city. (photo by Sean Rayford)
Welcome to my monthly guide on what to do in South Carolina. This isn’t an exhaustive list but rather — one curated by a photojournalist who has been covering the Palmetto State since 1997.
If you’re looking for parades, festivals, fairs, concerts, or unique events that are fun — this is it. Some of these might make great photography opportunities. For those interested in photography, I offer custom private photo workshops.
