What: Tea Party Protest Event
When: Dec. 2, 2023
Time: 10 am
Where: Old Exchange Building, 122 E. Bay St, Charleston SC
Admission: Free
The Charleston Tea Party event will begin on Saturday December 2, 2023, at 10:00am in front of the Old Exchange Building & Provost Dungeon, located at 122 East Bay Street. The public is invited to assemble in front of the building as traffic along short sections of Broad and East Bay Streets will be blocked. A theatrical reenactment of our own Tea Party Protest will take place on the front portico of the building. The performance, aided by the crowd and costumed “townspeople” will last approximately 40 minutes and then attendees will be invited to tour the basement of the Exchange where the tea was stored and to partake of some hot tea provided by Oliver Pluff & Co. Attendees will also be provided a pass for free admission to The Powder Magazine Museum for the weekend (Dec 2-3), where a temporary exhibit on 18th century tea will be in place through December. Free admission to the garden and outbuildings of the Heyward Washington House will also be offered. This commemoration of Charleston’s first Tea Party during the first weekend of December sets the stage for a multi-year commemoration of the American Revolution that will happen locally and throughout South Carolina.
