A Hybrid Experience for ALL with in-person & virtual events JUNE 13–27, 2021
Artist Jude Binder
Welcome to FESTIVALL
See it ALL, Hear it ALL, Enjoy it ALL, Experience it ALL!
Thank you for joining us for our 17th celebration of
music, art, theater, dance, family fun, and more.
How sweet it is to be seeing you this summer. After more
than a year apart, FestivALL is honored to continue this
tradition and provide 15 days of exciting and inspiring
events and experiences for new and longtime fans.
This year, we are shining a light on 200+ local artists
and community partners who make Charleston a vibrant
arts and culture destination. FestivALL is a celebration
that is made possible because of the collaborative
spirit of our city — which has rung true since our first
3-day festival in 2005. A special thanks to Mayor Amy
Shuler Goodwin, Charleston City Council, and City of
Charleston departments and crews. We are so grateful
to ALL who help our City Become a Work of Art each
and every year.
That includes YOU — the Friends of FestivALL, sponsors,
volunteers, and attendees. You believe in the connection
and inspiration that the arts provide. I’m here to say
thank you, and whether you’re joining us in-person
or virtually this summer, know just how much you are
appreciated.
Enjoy ALL that our wonderful city has to offer. Happy
FestivALL!

release. Her subsequent articles on the conditions and treatment of the
“patients” led to improvements in the care for the mentally ill. In January
of 1890, she bested the time of the fictional Phileas Fogg from the book,
Around the World in Eighty Days. Nellie Bly is portrayed by JoAnn
Peterson of Kingwood. This is part of the History Alive program from the
