The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) kicks off today in downtown Charleston, drawing crowds for wildlife art, live demos, and outdoor vibes—perfect Lowcountry timing after those recent quakes. Expect the black-tie gala tonight at Charleston Place, with main events Friday-Sunday across Marion Square, Gaillard Center, Marriott, and Brittlebank Park, plus road closures and traffic snarls from vendor setups.
Key Road Closures
Closures hit near these spots starting Thursday—plan alternate routes:
- Marion Square (329 Meeting St)
- Charleston Marriott (170 Lockwood Dr)
- Gaillard Center (95 Calhoun St)
- Charleston Place (205 Meeting St)
- Brittlebank Park (170 Lockwood Dr)
CPD urges extra travel time; drive/park your own rig, rideshare, walk, or bike.
Smart Navigation Tips
Free shuttles loop for ticket/badge holders (full route plus Brittlebank-Gaillard express), but traffic might delay them. Leashed dogs OK outdoors, not on shuttles. For Mount Pleasant/North Charleston folks like you, hop I-526 to avoid King St gridlock.
Hit up the festival site for shuttle/parking deets. Going, or eyeing the art scene?
