Summerville is known as the "Birthplace of Sweet Tea" and home of the Annual Sweet Tea Festival. Sweet Tea is a symbol of the true Southern hospitality in the town. Downtown, you'll find the World's Largest (Sweet) Iced Tea container, Mason. Charm radiates from every corner of the flower-covered streets, from the front porches to the historic center, also home to the Flowertown Festival. Even though Summerville is known for its historic character, the newest addition to the area is Nexton Square, an updated and elevated space where you can shop, dine, and stay.
