FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Greater Pickens Chamber of Commerce to Host Second Annual Pickens Appalachian Folk Festival

Pickens, SC, September 19, 2024 โ€” The Greater Pickens Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the return of the Pickens Appalachian Folk Festival, taking place on November 1st-2nd, 2024. This two-day event celebrates the rich and unique Appalachian heritage of Northern Pickens County and the Upstate of South Carolina.

The festivities will kick off on Friday evening with live bluegrass music in the Pickens Amphitheater, setting the stage for a lively weekend. On Saturday, attendees can look forward to a full day of music, craft vendors, and mouthwatering food.

This year, we are especially proud to partner with the Holly Springs Appalachian Arts and Culture Center, which will be offering Appalachian culture demonstrations throughout Saturday. Festival-goers can experience the skills and traditions that have shaped this region for generations.

For our younger visitors, weโ€™re excited to feature a Kids Zone, where children will have the opportunity to learn a traditional Appalachian skill, take part in fun activities, and bring home a special piece of Appalachian heritage.

The Pickens Appalachian Folk Festival promises to be a memorable event that highlights the beauty, music, crafts, and history of our Appalachian roots. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating this cherished culture.
