Renowned for three centuries as “a city set in a garden,” Charleston welcomes the return of spring with two extraordinary events that will allow visitors to enjoy exclusive “sneak peeks” inside many of the city’s finest historic private houses and gardens, as well as peruse some of the nation’s most impressive antiques.

Held during the peak of the historic port city’s blooming season, the 63rd Spring Festival of Houses and Gardens offers guests a rare opportunity to visit the private interiors of nearly 150 of the city’s most magnificent colonial and antebellum houses and gardens March 18 – April 17, 2010. The Charleston International Antiques Show (CIAS) will open the festival’s first weekend March 19-21.

CIAS has quickly established itself as a premier destination for seasoned collectors as well as those who just enjoy seeing and learning about the decorative arts. More than 30 nationally renowned dealers will feature a diverse range of antiques from
the 17th to early 20th century, including American, Asian and European furniture, silver and porcelain, textiles, ceramics, vintage jewelry and clothing, and garden furniture.

Both events are organized by Historic Charleston Foundation and proceeds support its mission to preserve and protect Charleston’s historic architecture and culture.
