Who We Are

Charleston's go-to weekly newsletter

CHS Happenings is a Charleston-based email newsletter, website, and Instagram presence. Every week, we deliver the latest on events, new restaurants and retailers, commercial real estate projects that shape our quality of life, and the stories that keep residents connected to our vibrant city.

Our readers don't just skim — they act. They try the restaurants, show up to the events, and shop the businesses we feature. That's because we've built trust by staying independent, opinionated, and relentlessly local.

I keep coming back to CHS Happenings because with one click I'm up-to-date on all of the local happenings — events, news, new restaurants. I appreciate all the content about retail and restaurants. It's both informative and entertaining. I would absolutely recommend it to others!
