South Carolina Reggae Jerk & Wine Festival, Charleston

Every year, the South Carolina Reggae, Jerk & Wine Festival brings a little taste of Jamaica to Charleston in the form of live musical performances, jerk dishes from Caribbean Rootz, and wine samples from a variety of distributors and winery partners. There's plenty of activities to keep visitors busy all day long, including wine and cooking demonstrations presented by a notable Jamaican chef and a dominoes tournament, in addition to complimentary admission to the storied Magnolia Garden.

Throughout the entire event, live reggae bands and DJs keep visitors moving to their festive beats. The event benefits Healthy Lifestyle Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching adults and children self-management skills and promoting wellness-focused education.
