The opening of Spoleto Festival USA this year was unlike any other. Instead of a seated crowd fanning themselves in the blistering sun before city hall, a small group gathered in the shade of Washington Park.The mayor proclaimed the festival’s start as he typically does. But the confetti and church bells that followed were a surprise for many, even though they are an opening tradition.“To me there’s something emotional about that because it really does signal the start of the festival,” Jessie Bagley said. She is the Spoleto Festival USA Marketing and Public Relations Director.Bagley credits the festival’s Director of Production, Mike East, with making the unexpected happen. He just smiles when asked, humbly hanging his head and shaking it no.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Spoleto Festival USA is returning to Charleston this year and tickets went on sale Tuesday.
Organizers say they are getting creative and building two outdoor stages in order to make the event happen safely.
The bus shed at the Charleston Visitor Center is one of two locations organizers are transforming into a stage for the Spoleto Festival. Buses will still run through during the day, but from 4 p.m. the stage will be set for the hundreds of performers coming to Charleston for the 45th annual festival.
