Description
With daylight savings behind us, Fall is officially in full swing here in Charleston. Even though it may be getting darker earlier and the temperatures are beginning to drop, there’s still something great that comes with the colder temperatures; Oysters!
Charleston’s coastal location makes Oyster Roasts a fall/winter- long event, with some serving up only the best of the best. The events also usually include music, vendors, and other fun activities in addition to just eating oysters.
