Charleston's Taylor Swift fan club was organized by Bailey Larkin about eight months ago before she moved from her hometown of Charlotte to the Lowcountry. She started it as a way to make new friends through a common interest.  

Now that High Water Festival 2024 is over, the execution of the two-day music festival is receiving negative feedback over hourslong entry and exit issues, lack of liquor in the Platinum Lounge and even property theft.

Check out the Art Charleston fest put on by the Gibbes Museum. Enjoy delicious bites at the Black Food Truck Festival. Shop for local plants for your garden at Plantasia. Or, take in the harbor views at Mount Pleasant's Blessing of the Fleet.

This week the Lowcountry has all the things from the past to the present — visit the women of Middleton Place, take a comedy cruise around the harbor with Rip City on a Boat or shake it up with a cocktail from Black mixologists at The Great Shakeup competition.
