Festival of Houses and Gardens

The Festival of Houses and Gardens will be held March 17 - April 16, 2011. This festival featured the interiors and gardens of approximately 150 historic private houses in 10 colonial and antebellum neighborhoods during the peak of the city's blooming season. The Festival also will feature several Plantation Picnics at Drayton Hall Plantation, a National Historic Landmark, c. 1738, and daily walking tours through the Old and Historic District. Most of the events sell out in advance, so early reservations are strongly encouraged. Tickets to the house and garden tours are $45 and can be ordered by calling (843) 723-1623.
