Frequently Asked Questions
Which days count as this weekend?
Saturday and Sunday. From Monday to Friday the page shows the coming Saturday and Sunday; on Sunday it still shows the current weekend.
How is this list made?
It is built from our South Carolina events dataset, where every row was read on the organizer’s own page and carries the date it was checked. The page refreshes at midnight Eastern time.
Why are some events listed as season-long?
Holiday light shows, museum exhibits and markets run for weeks. Some open only on certain nights, so they sit in their own list with a note to check the day you want on the organizer’s page.
