We are excited and proud to announce that on October 24–25, 2025, the Greater Pickens Chamber of Commerce will host the third annual Pickens Appalachian Folk Festival at the Hagood Mill Historic Site, located at 138 Hagood Mill Rd., Pickens, SC.

This two-day event celebrates the rich and unique Appalachian heritage of Northern Pickens County and the Upstate of South Carolina. The festival will kick off Friday evening with lively bluegrass music and continue into Saturday with a full day of traditional music, local craft vendors, and delicious regional cuisine.

As a sponsor, you’ll have a unique opportunity to support the Appalachian Folk Festival in its early years, play a role in preserving Appalachian culture, and help bring an exciting, family-friendly event to the Upstate community.

We sincerely appreciate your consideration in sponsoring the third annual Pickens Appalachian Folk Festival!
