THE HOPE SUMMIT 2025
COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS FESTIVAL
September 27th, 12 - 4 PM
The Charleston Museum
The Hope Summit Community Festival returns for its fourth year. Meet dozens of local nonprofits and organizations serving local communities, browse the sustainable ecopreneurs market, celebrate World Rivers Day, explore breathtaking discoveries from the Blake Plateau, find your Fall reading list at The Hope Summit Book Fair, and discover the many ways you can be part of the future you want to see in our community.
This is a family-friendly event that is free and open to the public.

Help Us Make This a Sustainable Event
All events risk becoming unnecessarily wasteful. The Hope Summit organizers, partners, vendors, and attendees all have a shared responsibility to mitigate their waste and emissions. Learn how you can do your part.
Make your commitment to accomplish the tasks below:
-
Look before you throw and use the correct recycling and compost bins provided by Keep Charleston Beautiful
-
Fill your reusable cups or water bottles at the free water refilling station
-
Eat locally sourced options from the food vendors on-site or from sustainable local businesses, and bring your reusable cutlery or use the compostable options available through our vendors
-
Bike, walk, carpool, or opt for mass transit options like CARTA to travel to The Hope Summit 2024 Festival
