The Citadel

The Citadel's military college campus offers a different Charleston experience from the historic downtown streets. A scheduled cadet parade gives the clearest public view of its traditions.

Why go

The Corps of Cadets brings the college's military identity into view on Summerall Field. The campus also has Summerall Chapel and The Citadel Museum for visitors interested in its institutional history. A parade is the most distinctive reason to make the trip, but its dates depend on the academic calendar.

What to look for

  • A cadet parade on Summerall Field when scheduled
  • Summerall Chapel
  • The Citadel Museum

Useful to know

  • Check the parade calendar before making a trip specifically to see the cadets.
  • Arrange a campus tour separately if you want more than the public parade experience.
