Calendar dog, as The New Yorker famously posited in 1993, but for Internet Week NY, you'll definitely want to get spiffy. internetweekny.com CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA MAY Spoleto Festival USA In 1735, the Holy City- so nicknamed for the sumptuous church steeples and cathedral spires that grace its skyline-hosted North America's first opera performance, firmly establishing the community as a haven for arts and culture. So it makes sense that when Pulitzer Prize-winning, Italian-born composer Gian Carlo Menotti sought to launch a U.S. counterpart to his homeland's epic Festival of Two Worlds, he chose Charleston and created Spoleto Festival USA in 1977. Now celebrating its 38th year, the 17-day event-widely considered the nation's premier performing arts festival-serves up more than 150 happenings in 13 local venues and features opera, dance, theater, acrobatics, jazz, and bluegrass, as well as classical, choral, and chamber music. This year's showstoppers include a new staging of composer John Adams' opera El Niño, the U.S. premiere of Michael Nyman's contemporary opera Facing Goya, the American premiere of Gothic romance-mystery My Cousin Rachel (from Dublin's Gate Theatre), contemporary ballet from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, tap from Dorrance Dance, concerts by Lucinda Williams and Béla Fleck, and much more. But there's no need for anyone to worry about getting lost in Spoleto Fest's embarrassment of cultural riches. Condé Nast Traveler named Charleston the friendliest city in America last year (not to mention the year before that and the year before that), while Travel + Leisure readers crowned it America's Favorite City. spoletousa.org 23 NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE JUN CMA Music Festival Launched in 1972, the star-studded, four-day CMA Music Festival is a dream come true for those who get their kicks from three chords and the truth, as legendary songwriter Harlan Howard once described country music. This year's superstar lineup includes acts like 5 Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Darius Rucker, and Florida Georgia Line. In addition to evening concerts at LP Field (home of the Tennessee Titans), the CMA Music Festival offers the daytime Fan Fair X experience at Music City Center with live performances, opportunities to meet http://www.internetweekny.com http://spirit.itimanufacturing.com http://www.spoletousa.org http://spirit.itimanufacturing.com
