Questions parents ask

Still wondering? Call (866) 306-1384 and talk to a person.

Do I need a permit for a birthday party with a character in a city park?

In Charleston, any organized event at a city park or facility requires a permit, subject to approval. Ask the city whether a party with an entertainer counts as organized and how far ahead to apply.

Can any family in South Carolina book a West Columbia community room?

The West Columbia Community Center is available only to in-city residents, so check your residency before planning around it.

What should I ask the venue before booking a character?

Ask whether outside entertainers are allowed, what the rental covers, how many guests the space allows, and what you must supply yourself.

What activities can a character visit include?

A character visit can include greetings, a themed story, a dance or game, and photos. These are options to discuss with your chosen character, not a fixed package.

Character parties in South Carolina

South Carolina has parks and community spaces that can host a kids' birthday, and the rules differ quite a bit from one city to the next. Before you choose a character, it helps to know whether the place you have in mind is a city park, a city-run community center, or somewhere else, because each may handle organized events and outside entertainment differently.

Planning a character visit in South Carolina

Permits for organized events in City of Charleston parks

In the City of Charleston, a permit is required for any organized event at a city park, facility, or field, and permits are subject to approval. If you are considering a Charleston park for a party with a character, ask the city early whether your gathering counts as an organized event and what the approval timeline looks like. Also ask whether a visiting entertainer needs to be named on the permit.

Attendee limits at Charleston's waterfront spots

Events held at Waterfront Park or White Point Garden in Charleston are limited to 25 people in total, including the birthday child and the adults. A character visit can be lovely in a smaller group, but a larger family gathering would need a different location. Confirm the headcount rule with the city before you send invitations.

Rental spaces at Earlewood Park in Columbia

The West Columbia Community Center

The West Columbia Community Center at 754 B Avenue is a meeting facility open only to in-city residents, and it can host birthday parties. Its full kitchen is available, but the renter must bring all kitchen supplies and utensils. Ask the city whether a visiting character is permitted and whether it matches your plans for the room layout.
