The Upstate of South Carolina has, arguably, one of the highest concentrations of Scots-Irish descendants in the country. A great event for the whole family, this two-day festival was created in 2006 as a tribute to the region's Celtic forebears, and includes a parade, music, athletic competition and dancing. Friday: Great Scot! parade downtown and Ceilidh music on the TD Stage in the Peace Center Amphitheater. Saturday: Scottish Games at Furman.
The Skunk Farm is a unique music and camping venue in Upstate South Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We host two yearly music festivals. SpringSkunk Music Fest takes place the second weekend of April, and the Albino Skunk Music Festival takes place the first weekend in October. Both are often called “SkunkFest” by our attendees and artists. Originally founded as a bluegrass music festival, SkunkFest now features all sorts of mostly acoustic music – including Americana, Folk, Singer-Songwriter, Alt. Country, Acoustic, Roots and Bluegrass. We’re proud of our eclectic mix of music – check out this year’s line-up.
The musical classic "Hank Williams: Lost Highway" is directed by Jimmy O. Burdette. This spectacular musical biography of the legendary singer-songwriter frequently mentioned alongside Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, Elvis and Bob Dylan as one of the great innovators of American popular music, follows Hank Williams' rise from his beginnings on the Louisiana Hayride to his triumphs on the Grand Ole Opry to his eventual self-destruction at twenty-nine. Along the way, we are treated to indelible songs like "I'm So Lonesome I Could Die”, "Move It on Over" and "Hey, Good Lookin'," which are given fresh and profound resonance set in the context of Williams' life.
Printed Program. Open to the Public. Admission is FREE

Please join SPACE and Thicketty Mountain Farm for an exciting new spring event: Bonnamoo! You won't want to miss this celebration of music, food, and farms at our Cleveland Preserve Farm, a beautiful 300-acre conserved farm in North Spartanburg. This musical event will feature headliners Southern Culture On The Skids (SCOTS), with local favorite The Shane Pruitt Band as the opener. Gates at 6 p.m.
Southern Culture On The Skids have been consistently recording and touring around the world since 1983. Their music has been featured in movies and TV, and their legendary live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping, butt-shaking rock-and-roll. Living and breathing the blues and gospel, opener The Shane Pruitt Band embodies a regional tradition while bringing its original tone and flare to every performance.
During the performance, vendors will be on-site selling food and beverages. SPACE is partnering with commercial composting company Atlas Organics to make this a low-waste event. Guests are encouraged to carpool. Those who bring their own non-glass tumblers for beverages will receive $1 off their first beer or glass of wine!
