Here in the Hot and Sunny South, 2nd Sunday on King Street is Cool

July 11, 2026Susan Lucas

Beat the Heat at 2nd Sunday — Tomorrow on King Street!

It's that time again — and we're bringing our special mix of art, shopping, food, and fun to King Street. Since 2010, locals and regional guests have made 2nd Sunday a monthly tradition, and we can't wait to see you there.

We know it's the height of Charleston summer, so this month we're making it easy to enjoy the day and stay cool. Here's your guide to beating the heat while you shop, snack, and soak up the culture.

Cool Down with a Treat! Nothing beats the heat like a scoop, a popsicle or shaved ice. Look for these vendors along the route:

Lowcountry Cone Co.

River Street Sweets

Off Track Ice Cream

King of Pops

Glacé

Lowcountry Lemonade

Christophe Chocolatier

Duck Into the AC

When you need a break from the sun, King Street shops keep it cool inside. And, did you know most King Street stores welcome your dog?

Find Some Shade

Between stops, take a breather under the oaks and awnings at American Gardens. It's a great spot to people-watch, grab a bite, and rest before your next round of shopping.

Cool Art on the Street

This month's artist lineup brings some seriously eye-catching work to the street. Stroll the block and take in pieces from Tate Nation, Rebecca Meixner, Lauren Ridenour and so many fine Charleston artists, — then pop into Reinert Fine Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden for something you won't find anywhere else.

2nd Sunday Cool Room at Richemont Hotel/Two Bit Club

1:00-5:00 pm at 93 Society Street, just steps from King.

2nd Sunday has been a Charleston tradition since 2010, every month, year round (except for that pesky pandemic and a couple nearby hurricanes). Stop in our cool room too ask us anything, meet some local celebs and experience the greatest little hotel and restaurant off King.

Grab some water, wear your sunscreen; we'll see you on the street!

Charleston favorite Lisa Shimko will be at Duckworth Gallery from noon--3 on 2nd Sunday.

2nd Sunday on King Street Cool Room at The Hotel Richemont

We’re adding something new to 2nd Sunday on King Street — and we think you’re going to love it.

Introducing the Cool Room: a dedicated space where you can pull up a chair, ask your questions, and have a real conversation about everything that makes 2nd Sunday tick. Located at The Richemont Hotel / Two Bit Club, just steps off King Street at Society. The Cool Room will be open from 1 to 5 PM on event day.

Whether you’re curious about how to get involved as a vendor, wondering what it takes to become a sponsor, or want to know more about Charleston’s beloved King Street — this is the place to come. We’ll have information and staff from Charleston Magazine’s Makers Directory and how our event fits into the broader story of Charleston’s maker and small business scene.

Some interesting people will be there to chat, share, and answer your questions — the kind of folks who know this event inside and out and love talking about what makes it special.

The Richemont Hotel / Two Bit Club Society Street, just off King 1–5 PM

Stop in. Say hello. Ask us anything.

Music at 2nd Sunday and a scent in the air: Ranger Station

June 13, 2026Susan Lucas

“Founded in 2015 by Steve and Jordan Soderholm, Ranger Station was born when a self-taught perfumer combined two notes no trained nose would think to put together: Leather + Pine, our original best-selling scent. Over a decade later, we’re still family-owned, still proudly hand-making every product in Nashville, Tennessee — and still breaking the rules where we can. Where the traditional fragrance world runs on credentials and gatekeepers, Ranger Station runs on gut instinct, American memory, and the belief that a scent worth wearing shouldn’t just smell good - it should inspire you to Leave Your Trace. “

Look for Ranger Station, newly opened at 370 ½ King Street.

The Reef Shakers will play this Sunday from 12–3pm under the Riviera marquee again.

Hamilton Watch Co. Celebrates at 2nd Sunday

Southern Oaks’ The Tallow House Joins 2nd Sunday at the VIP Tent

May 3, 2026Beauty, ShoppingSusan Lucas

There’s something special about discovering a product crafted by hand, rooted in tradition, and born from a genuine desire to do things better. That’s exactly what’s waiting for guests at the 2nd Sunday on King Street VIP tent this month, where Southern Oaks’ The Tallow House will be showcasing their line of pure, small-batch tallow skincare.

Southern Oaks products are built on grass-fed beef tallow — an ingredient your great-grandmother would have recognized, and one that modern skin science is rediscovering with good reason. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow absorbs deeply, nourishes without fillers or harsh chemicals, and is gentle enough for the whole family.

The 2nd Sunday VIP tent is all about connecting our community with local makers who put their hearts into what they create. Whether you’re a longtime tallow convert or brand new to the concept, stop by, say hello, and experience the difference that clean, thoughtfully crafted skincare can make.
