Located at 95 Calhoun Street in historic downtown Charleston, the Charleston Gaillard Center is one of the region’s premier venues for live performance, music, theater, and cultural events. With a 2,750-seat performance hall and expansive exhibition space, it serves as the city’s largest and most prestigious performing arts facility.
Originally opened as the Gaillard Municipal Auditorium in 1968, the center has hosted thousands of civic events, concerts, and festivals over the decades. A major renovation in 2015 transformed it into the world-class venue it is today—home to the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and a key performance space for Spoleto Festival USA. Operated as a nonprofit, the Gaillard Center also offers year-round arts education programming, including free classes, summer camps, and student matinees for local schools.
What’s On at the Gaillard
The Gaillard Center offers a dynamic calendar of events year-round, from Broadway productions and classical symphonies to ballet, jazz, gospel, and contemporary music. Past performers have included Yo-Yo Ma, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and touring national theater companies. The center also welcomes corporate galas, fundraising events, and educational lectures.
