Just as FestivALL wrapped up Sunday, the city of Charleston is preparing for its next big event: the Sternwheel Regatta, which starts this Thursday, June 30. The carnival has begun setting up, and food vendors will finish setting up before the event begins Thursday at noon. It’s been 12 years since the last Regatta and this year’s event will be a mix of old favorites and new events too. Along with the classic sternwheel boat races, music performances and fireworks, some new activities include a craft beer festival, battle of the bands, pro wrestling and a BMX and skate exhibition.
