Fall is here! You can feel a slight cool breeze early in the morning and in the evenings, even though it’s still mid eighties during the day and those pesky mosquitos are still hanging around.

Here are some upcoming events where you may want to get out and enjoy lovely fall weather in Charleston:

* The MOJA Festival runs from Sept. 24 through Oct 4th.  This festival is a celebration of African American and Carribean arts, including dance, poetry, storytelling, theater, ethnic food, etc.  Click here for more info: http://www.mojafestival.com/moja2009/
