Easter Promenade 2012

(next year: March 30, 2013)

Thank you for bringing Charleston an event that truly sets it apart! Meredith Siemens

Our Promenade is respectful of the Easter holiday and welcomes the spring season in a bouquet of hats of all colors. It is called a "Promenade," as opposed to a "parade," since it reflects the grace, gentility, and traditions of Charleston. As The Post and Courier wrote, "It is not walking. It is not sashaying. It is not strutting. It is a leisurely walk taken for pleasure, to display one's finery, etc.' It is "hats off to our Hat Ladies, proud preservationists of promenading."

The Post and Courier thought so highly of our Promenade they included it on the first page of their Guide to Life in The Lowcountry, 2012 edition. The caption "Welcome to Charleston" was followed by a half page photo of Sissa and Ed Green with St. Michaels and the Courthouse in the background under the blue skies of our Holy City.
