Culinary Village: Sunday Local

True to tradition, Sunday is Locals Day supported by The Post and Courier – one of the (many!) days when living here full-time has its benefits. We offer a discounted ticket to Charleston locals on Sunday, March 9. If you live full-time in the Charleston tri-county, you may purchase a Locals ticket for a $40 discount. “Local” residency means this is your permanent, year-round residence. This is valid for tri-county residents only, and a valid tri-county billing zip code that matches the form of payment is required at the time of purchase to successfully complete the transaction. We appreciate that you dine locally, shop locally, and support our industry 12 months of the year. This is our little thank you!
