Blog > SEWE (Southeastern Wildlife Exposition) Returns to Charleston!
I had to pause on the Life in Nexton Blogs, just this once (don't worry, they'll be back next month). Why, you ask?
My absolute favorite event in Charleston is back after a year off...SEWE!
The largest event of its kind in the U.S., The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, promises unforgettable experiences of wildlife and nature. It is a celebration of the great outdoors through Art, Live Entertainment, and special events. SEWE is a non-profit 501(c)(3) whose mission is to preserve the wild in everything they do.
Since SEWE began in February 1983, it has become the highly-anticipated event in Charleston.kicking off the city's tourist season. The original show hosted 100 Artists & Exhibitors had 5,000 Attendees and today 500 Artists & Exhibitors with over 40,000 Attendees. With the show being such a success, it generates $50 million in economic impact every year.
The Biggest SPLASH of the weekend long, Dock Dogs Competition, where the most talented pups jump for distance into a pool surrounded by spectators up until the Grand Finale on Sunday. I also love watching the Retriever and Herding Dog Demos; I'm a sucker for any demonstration with a cute dog. Also, fun to watch is the Birds of Prey at Marion Square! Come to see the shows, leave with a new adopted Boykin! Ya never know!
