Plus, the South’s got a lot to say and Dig South is the perfect platform to snag that mic and sing your battle cry.

It’s Located in Charming Charleston

It’s Kind of a Really Big Deal
[Dig South has really caught its stride in its short three years – growing from 450 attendees during the first year, with projections to nearly double compared to last year’s 1,170 attendees.
