2nd Sunday on King Street

For fans of Charleston culture

Remembering Steve Jobs

Susan Lucas

Steve Jobs died October 5, 2011. We remember him with admiration and gratitude.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
— Steve Jobs, 1997

Relaunching Great event in uncertain times gives us many opportunities to make it even better. 2nd Sunday has always enjoyed the contributions of local and regional musicians, mostly just talented folks jammin’ on the street. Let’s do that again.

Hi Katharine, thank you for your thoughtful message.

Because 2nd Sunday is such a popular event among locals and regionals, it’s become important to business development on the peninsula. We are complying with every city, county and state guideline, including frequent review by the mayors office and special events committee. We will encourage vaccinations, masks, and social distancing according to CDC recommendations.

Look for me, I‘ll be the vaccinated one wearing a mask.

Our friends at Woof Gang Bakery, 340 King Street, are sure to be there. Woof Gang gained popularity during our crazy time which makes us very happy. We love their toys, their excellent dietary choices for our pets, their grooming service (Buddy needs a mani/pedi!) and especially cookies cookies cookies. Dogs are always welcome at 2nd Sunday.

2nd Sunday on King Street Returning September 12

CHARLESTON, SC (June 14, 2021) --- 2nd Sunday on King Street will return to its every-month schedule beginning Sunday, September 12th after an 18-month hiatus due to Covid-19 protocols, announced Susan Lucas, President of the Charleston Peninsula Preservation Trust (CPPT), the non-profit that manages and produces the event. 

“We’re very excited to re-start 2nd Sunday,” said Lucas. “It’s been sorely missed by the downtown retail and dining establishments and the thousands of local and regional visitors who come to stroll, shop, dine and enjoy Charleston’s “Main Street” on a vehicle-free, pedestrian-only afternoon.”

2nd Sunday on King Street began in October 2010 and this fall will celebrate its 11th anniversary closing King Street from Calhoun to Queen Streets to all vehicular traffic from noon to 5 p.m. Typical attendance ranges from 12 to 18 thousand visitors per 2nd Sunday.

“It’s the most popular and most regularly attended event on the peninsula,” said Karl Krull, Vice-President and Director of Operations for CPPT. “More than 1.5 million guests have patronized 2nd Sunday since its inception. We can’t wait to get it rolling again.”

Relaunching a great event

Susan Lucas

Remember 2nd Sunday? It’s coming back! Starting September 12, 2021 and returning on the second Sunday of every month, we’ll close King Street from Queen to Calhoun, announce wonderful events all over the peninsula, and invite everybody to join us. Just like every month the 10 years before the pandemic, people will walk King Street, pop in to their favorite restaurant for breakfast, brunch or dinner, shop for up an item or two and go home remembering why we’re all here. Musicians will play, painters will paint, locals especially will walk the street with a smile.
