Sixth Annual Pecan Festival Expected To Draw 45,000+
The sixth annual Pecan Festival will be held Saturday, November 7th in the heart of downtown Florence. With last year's attendance pushing 45,000, this year's event is sure to draw even more festival goers from around South Carolina and the Southeast. Piggly Wiggly is again our Presenting Sponsor. The festival will feature over 200 vendors offering every kind of food imagineable as well as arts and crafts. The Kids' Fun Zone, sponsored by McLeod Health, offers FREE entertainment for children including inflatables, games, stage entertainment and a petting zoo.
This will be the third year for the "Run Like A Nut" race, sponsored by The Fitness Forum. This year, there will be a 10k run, a 5k run and a 1k Fun Walk. Click the Quick Link on the right for more details and for registration information.
New this year is the Pee Dee Blues Bash, a four day long event featuring Blues artists such as Drink Small, Deb Callahan and Bill Lupkin and the Chicago Blues Coalition. There will be yearly favorites, like the Masterworks Choir concert and the Pecan Cook-Off as well as some new attractions such as an expanded amusement rides area. We hope to see you downtown on November 7th! "Let's Go Nuts"!!!
