The flowers are beginning to pop out and the entire lowcountry is awash in color. Enjoy the beauty around you, so many people envy you the chance to live here.

It’s 3 full days,  family-oriented  and held the 3rd-5th. It’s also SC’s largest Arts and Crafts fest and the best part is that it’s FREE.
