The Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner is held in April of each year. It is a special time to show our appreciation and celebrate our member businesses. During the event we honor individuals who went above and beyond with various awards. The 2023 Kentucky Derby theme and the 2022 Beatles themed celebrations saw a record number of attendees and we would like to again think anyone who helped make these events successful.
Tour de Charleston is held on the last Saturday of September and offers three different adult race routes along the serene countryside of the Charleston area. Hosted by the Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce we are happy to announce the 7th annual Tour de Charleston will be held on September 30th, 2023. The newly added children’s race will start at 8:00 with the three adult races to follow. Food trucks, race day drink specials at Mike & Stans, and local shopping on the square bring a festive atmosphere to this race.
