Some nice vendors but need to know your prices. Sweet grass baskets are beautiful but very pricey. Lots of jewelry and items you find in many open air markets. Not a lot of what I would call Local items from the area other than the baskets.

We enjoyed perusing all the many different types of goods available for purchase. I have as looking for Carolina Gold rice and was delighted to find some at the Charleston Historical Society booth and, bonus, it was tax free because they are a non-profit. We spent an enjoyable afternoon checking out the varied offerings.

Definitely a place to take in the sites and check out all the neat stuff but it is very expensive! The history behind it is what brings me to it everytime but it is definitely a huge tourist trap especially with the cruise ships coming through there. Oh and not dog friendly although we did take our dog through the outside part but its a big no in the inside part... I get that.

We stayed on Sullivan's Island and spent day one driving around S I and Isle of Palms. We ate dinner at Sullivan's Fish Camp. I had roasted oysters and was not impressed. Day two we drove out 17 to find an Indian mound walked two miles and found my navigator had wrong directions. We stopped at Seewee Restaurant on Hwy 17 near Awendaw. Yummy She Crab Soup. Our amazing waitress told us about Avian Center and bird show. Day 3 we went to the bird show at avian center on 17 near Awendaw. Great learning experience. Owls, Hawks, Vulture. We ate dinner at Page's Okra Grill. We ate here 3 times during our stay. It was fabulous. Went into Charleston once. Had a horsedrawn wagon tour. It was near the market so we went there. We drove around the battery and left. Too many people.

It is a typical open air market but you can literally buy everything that you need from this market. Would suggest to walk through the whole market and then go back to where you want to purchase. There are so many things to choose from! So May choices from food items to candles, pictures,jewelry, sweet grass basket,etc. It is all located there. They are open every day which is super convenient! I would definitely recommended going to the Charleston Market when visiting Charleston. We went early and there was no crowd, it does tend to get crowed, so go early!

I enjoyed the history of the market, I thought that was pretty cool! Would I purchase everything the vendors have to offer? No, but it was fun to see. Yes, there were a lot of repeats throughout the booths, but there was plenty of everything to choose from. We were there around 11 am on Sunday morning, so it was quite busy. We only had the day to explore Charleston, so we chose the market and the waterfront. I would definitely return here if just to grab a snack and people watch!

Such a great way to start my trip to Charleston! Enjoyed strolling through the market, found lots of hand made items, paintings,jewelry, odds and ends of all kinds. So glad we went there. Weekend is the best time to as there were more vendors there, however still nice during the week.

This place is something you’d want to consider checking out just because it is a part of the city. I found it very crowded when I went but I pushed through to see what is in the market. Lots of goodies, food, trinkets, Knick knacks, souvenirs. Outside the market on either side are more of the same.

WOW, this place is bigger than we thought, almost four blocks long and filled with many cool shops. We picked up a few "must haves" along the way and enjoyed watching the different crafters weaving baskets and other items. Fun time lots to see.

City Market is huge! I was shocked to find this out. Tons and tons of vendors, nice products, and open air to enjoy. Building after building full of stuff. Be sure to check it out.
