60 Charleston, SCCULTUREPECHA KUCHA NIGHT CHARLESTON Having launched in Tokyo in 2003, Pecha Kucha nights are now a worldwide phenomenon. For the uninitiated, the rundown is simple: a roster of presenters each show 20 images at a pace of 20 seconds per image. How presenters will use their time is anybody’s guess, but the format keeps energy levels high and everyone on their toes. Charleston’s PK nights are held every few months, with the location revealed just a couple days prior to the event. www.pechakuchacharleston.comCHARLESTON INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Each spring the Charleston International Film Festival showcases the talent of emerging filmmakers and screenwriters with four days of independent cinema, shorts, documentaries, and animated films, along with nightly after-parties, industry panels, and educational workshops. www.charlestoniff.comCHARLESTON WINE AND FOOD FESTIVAL Each spring, the city’s many culinary wizards band together to form the Charleston Wine and Food Festival.

Drayton Hall has been meticulously preserved, rather than restored – meaning nothing has been changed, added, or refurbished. 3380 Ashley River Rd, Charleston, SC 29414, www.draytonhall.org
