For the 35th year, the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs in conjunction with the MOJA Planning Committee celebrates the cultural influence of African-American and Caribbean art during this 11-day festival. Kicking off with an opening-day parade, MOJA offers a slew of events, many free to attend, including Heritage Day in Marion Square, and an exhibit at City Gallery. Be sure to visit Hampton Park on October 7 for live music and eats at the MOJA Finale. Locations, times, & prices vary. (843)724-7305, www.mojafestival.com
