BarScape: Coasting Toward FestivALL

This year’s FestivALL Charleston serves up a thick schedule of cultural offerings across the city Wednesday through Sunday. I’ve been impressed by marketing around the event, including these FestivALL coasters and napkins which suddenly appeared at area restaurants a couple weeks back, as on this bar counter at Blues BBQ Etc., across from the Clay Center. Things kick off Wednesday with a FestivALL Preview concert starting 6 p.m. on a stage on the Clay Center lawn, featuring area rock, country and Latin bands. Samples will also be sold of West Virginia brews. The Clay Center gets proletarian! There’s a welcome trend.
