29 Things Going On Around Charleston This Week (Feb. 26 - Mar. 3)

February 25, 2024

Hey Charleston. This isn’t happening for another couple weeks, but Costa opened reservations this week for a wine dinner it’s hosting on Mar. 8. If you’ve been to Costa, you know this’ll sell out quick. If you haven’t tried it yet, or even heard of it for that matter, it’s the newest restaurant from the group behind Zero George and Wild Common. Looking at next week, there’s lots going on - hope to see some of you around!
