Charleston, SC

November 2025 - January 2026 and Spring

The best times to visit Charleston, South Carolina, are early spring (March to early April) and late fall (November to early December). These shoulder seasons offer mild weather (60s–70s°F), ideal for strolling the Battery, exploring historic homes, or enjoying Lowcountry cuisine outdoors. Spring brings blooming gardens and events like the Festival of Houses and Gardens, while fall offers pleasant temps, fewer crowds, and festivals like the Charleston Food + Wine Festival. Summer (June–August) is hot and humid (80s–90s°F) with frequent rain and peak tourist crowds, though it’s lively with outdoor markets. Winter (January–February) is cooler (50s–60s°F) but still mild, with holiday charm like the Charleston Christmas Parade, making it great for senior-friendly indoor activities like museum tours, though some outdoor attractions may feel quieter.

TBD - based on participation, hotel selection, activities.
