Presenting more than 700 events during its 17-day festival season, Piccolo Spoleto transforms Charleston into a city celebrating performing, literary and visual arts. Focusing primarily on artists of the Southeast region, Piccolo Spoleto is the perfect complement to the international scope of its parent festival, Spoleto Festival USA.
