We just say the best, there's more here:
Charleston City Paper
is always a good bet to see what's going on in town. Dig down too far and their calendar can feel bloated.
» Check out their staff picks for this day. Or check out the whole enchilada.
Charlie magazine
The online magazine has a tight focus on the culture scene and picks only one event per day. -- Sure, it can be a bit shallow, but there's no junk here.
» See what they've got (for the current month only).
Zvents
A comprehensive listing, but also has a lot of junk. Find user-submitted events, and calendars from The Post and Courier, NBC News 2, among others.
Get involved
Preserve Our Lowcountry has a pretty comprehensive listing of the more notable government meetings in the tri-county area.
