We interviewed Maria Belcher, Executive Director, FestivALL. They orchestrate the annual Goodnight Celebration.

She talked about the planning for this and why it has become such a New Year’s Eve tradition in Charleston.

GoodNight is Charleston’s family friendly New Year’s Eve celebration. It returns for its 25th year this New Year’s Eve with music, dance and a good time for all.
