With tourist season slowing down after October; Kiawah and Charleston will still have plenty of entertainment to offer for the month of November. As Halloween festivities come to a close, the low country gets prepared for Thanksgiving and the Christmas season. There are plenty of fun autumn events whether attending the fall festival on John’s Island, viewing the 2 million Holiday Lights at James Island County Park, or running the pre-meal turkey trot if you are staying on Kiawah. Travel to Kiawah, Seabrook, and Charleston in November is also usually favorable on the travel budget as this time of year typically has lower prices on hotel, villa, and condo rentals.
