East Coast Paddlesports & Outdoor Festival
“Come quickly. Have found heaven,” wrote artist Alfred Hutty to his wife in 1919, shortly after his arrival in Charleston, South Carolina. One visit to the Holy City and you too will realize you’re somewhere special! Rich in history, spectacular natural beauty, and some of the best food you’ll ever eat, Charleston is the ideal backdrop for the 25th annual East Coast Paddlesports & Outdoor Festival at James Island County Park.
