Spring, with its warming days encouraging trees to bud and flowers to grace the landscape, is always a reason to celebrate, and Pickens takes full advantage of the opportunity. When azaleas are blooming in Pickens, South Carolina, our town celebrates! Having fun in a family-oriented atmosphere is exactly what we do during the Azalea Festival, which occurs each year in April.
Hosted by local and area civic-minded organizations, the Azalea Festival resembles a large family reunion for Pickens County residents. It gives people who have been away a great opportunity to return for a visit with old friends. The streets of Pickens fill with artists offering a variety of their work and crafts, local organizations handing out important information on a series of topics, and an assortment of food that will entice even the pickiest of eaters. This is what our spring festival is all about.
