The cooler and wonderful weather is here in Charleston, and while we must shed a tear for the loss of beach days, we can be consoled with the many activities that fall brings to Charleston.

From corn mazes, pumpkin patches, plantation life recreations at Middleton Place, a Southern Ground Music and Food Festival, 5Ks, to the Coastal Carolina Fair there's lots to be excited about before we even hit the end of October.

Charleston Scene has a nice roundup of these and other must-dos; take a read here.

And don't forget the weather is going to be flipping fantastic this weekend with sunny skies and highs in the low 80s.

And keep up with prime Charleston events on our calendar page.
