The Charleston Music Hall itself is a beautiful, historic venue--intimate, well-maintained, and known for hosting concerts, comedy shows, and special events. The seating is comfortable, sightlines are good, and acoustics are solid, which definitely worked in favor of the vocal performances. The singers were clearly talented and did a great job vocally--everyone sounded wonderful, and there's no denying the performers can sing. However, we personally felt that the show didn't quite feel like a full "production." It leaned heavily on straightforward singing, with limited storytelling, choreography, or theatrical elements to tie everything together. This may come down to expectations and personal preference. Growing up around Broadway shows in NYC, we're used to more dynamic, story-driven performances with larger production value, and this didn't quite meet that standard for us. While others may enjoy it for the music and holiday spirit--especially in a cozy venue like the Charleston Music Hall--we would probably not attend again, particularly considering the ticket price.

The last band that I saw at the Charleston Music Hall was Hatebreed, a metal-core hardcore band that makes you ears bleed in the good way. Fortunately, the staff can provide you with complimentary ear plugs. Every visit to the Music Hall is consistently awesome! The Music Hall's website states: "Centrally located in the Upper King Street area of historic downtown Charleston, SC, the Charleston Music Hall was built in 1850 as a passenger station for the South Carolina Railroad, then converted to a full-service music venue in 1995."

This is budget if I've ever seen it. When we went, the air conditioning was not working so they set up a bunch of fans. In Charleston, SC fans will not cut it. It was probably 85 degrees and humid inside. Next, they had the overhead lights on. This is comparable to having lights on in a movie theater. When I asked if this was normal they told me that the repair workers for the AC needed them on but they are usually off. We were there for about 15 min and left. Most people literally came and left. There was a lot of disappointment. We asked for our money back and was handed a business card with an inoperable number. We emailed and they responded with some generic message about no refunds. They did not provide the service advertised. We were so disappointed. We've had friends that loved this that attended in TN & FL. They said it was immersive with swings in the middle and other pieces. This one literally had children's stools and that was it. DO NOT GO. THIS IS A COMPLETE MONEY GRAB!

Well they included interesting storyboards of his life which took you back in time to read about his struggles. It was very interesting. And the artwork OMG. It was a nice self-paced exhibit for those who don't like to walk much, you can take it slow and easy. I brought my Rollator just in case. It was nice to sit in front of the larger than life paintings. They did however have cushioned benches for a comfy perching area for people to sit and be AMAZED. The parking garage had plenty of handicap spaces with easy access to the exhibit. This is something you don't want to miss it's a once in a lifetime experience. I believe there's other showings to be around the US check on them you won't be sorry. GO GET IMMERSED WITH VAN GOGH.

This festival has not gotten a lot of reviews. Let me tell you my experience from my 2025…read moreattendance. I went to the first 19 years of Austin City Limits Festival. This is the closest festival you can attend to feel what it was like at ACL in the very early years. Bands selected were from indie-folk to indie-rock radio (Mt Joy, Flipturn, Amos Lee) & all the way to a couple of "old-people" bands w Counting Crows and Trampled by Turtles. No hip-hop. No DJ sets. Just solid alt-pop/rock, alt-folk, R&B (hey there m, The War and Treaty). This festival is produced by the company that does ACL and Lollapalooza, so they know how to organize a big show. I'm begging the production company to keep this festival as pure down the alt-folky, Americana, "classic alternative" lane as possible going forward. I will def come back whenever the lineup is as solid as 2025. All the festival staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Part of that is probably just the overwhelming hospitality vibe you experience anywhere in Charleston, but the High Water Festival seemed to put especially competent people in key public interaction positions. I've been to more than 20 festivals, but High Water was the best from organization, personal service and facility standpoints.

When a friend had an extra ticket I thought, why not! "Yes" to doing things again and being…read moresocial!!haha It's been years since my last festival so it was nice to attend one again. The High Water Festival is comprised of 2 stages with vendors, food + tents, free parking surrounding the area - depending on where you park it could be at most a mile. Your wristband once activated is your form of entrance which you scan after security. The event itself flowed nicely - I was surprised when the bands played right on time so kudos to the sound teams and engineering to make each set flow effortlessly. I've been to shows where there's a delay by a hour or so but these sets were punctual. Some random tips: bring sun protection because there's very little shade unless you find a spot by the water or more towards the outskirts of the field. The memorial area near the entrance is a nice quiet area for introverts that need to recharge from the energy of the crowds or folks that experience sensory overload. The most helpful tip would also be to bring your own empty water bottle. I loved how I could fill up at the several water refill stations to stay hydrated! If you can, eat beforehand unless you don't mind lengthy lines. I like how they tried to prevent that by spacing out maybe 3 of such tents throughout the field area and having the option to use your wristband as payment when you register a credit card with your band. I tried a King of Pop popsicle which was a nice treat to cool down with along the water. There are porta potty's as restrooms but these had no toilet paper or hand sanitizer so bring some of your own if you feel inclined. Overall it was a pleasant festival with scenic views along the water and a nice way to spend the weekend. I wouldn't have gone if it weren't for my friend! Hoping more performers down the line will grace Charleston with their presence.

If you're visiting Charleston, book a tour with Patricia "Trish" Goron at The Original Ghost Walk…read moreTour. We just finished her tour, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Trish is a true Charleston native, and her stories are based on real local accounts, not a canned script. She even shares photos tied directly to the paranormal history she has experienced and describes. The wildest part. We were standing with her about six feet from a streetlight on a corner. While she was talking, the top of the light pole started shaking, almost violently. There was no wind, and no other poles were moving. Then she asked it to stop, and it did. She acknowledged the paranormal presence and politely asked it to shake again, and it did. She said it was the first time she'd seen that specific physical reaction, and even she was amazed. It was truly a "see it to believe it" moment. By the end, it felt like walking through Charleston with a friend who knows every secret and haunt in town. She is charming, professional, and genuinely local. Support a local expert and skip the big corporate tours. She is the real deal who clearly lives and loves what she does.

I mean it's a haunted old beautiful city and I love it. Out of the three that I went on most recently I would say that Ghosts of the South and Ghosts of Charleston we'e both amazing, but Ghost Walk Charleston might be my secret favourite. The hosts of all of them were charismatic and fun and the prices are not bad at all. I don't recommend going in winter because it does get chilly around here at night. The heat of the summer can be a little bit too hot hot in SC, and it gets humid, so go in a moderate climate time of year like spring or fall - that, I think, is the most enjoyable.

But again, I did not come for the food. I came to have fun with my friends and enjoy a unique experience. And that is exactly what I got. I would recommend this show. I am even considering going back to see if I can play a bit part. Very interactive and engaging! For entertaining purposes five stars! My only warning is be careful who you sit next to as they be the killer!

The tortilla chips that were on the table for an appetizer were stale, and the entrees were mediocre, which all would have been fine if the performance we were there to see was fun.
