The Spirited Brunch is a self-guided snack tour of downtown Charleston’s prayerful spaces. Positioned as an open house-type event with every congregation on the Charleston peninsula invited to welcome visitors during the three-hour time frame. Notably, the event presents a rare chance for non-members to peek inside historically and architecturally significant sanctuaries. But what makes Spirited Brunch special is that each house of worship is asked to serve a snack representative of its local community or faith tradition.
Date: Sunday, May 3, from 12:30-3:30 pm
