Congaree Bluegrass Festival

This family-friendly event will be
held from 11 a.m. until 6:30 pm on October 5 at Granby Gardens Park located in
the City Hall Complex at 1800 12th Street, Cayce. The festival will
feature bluegrass performances along with tours of the Cayce Historical Museum
and youth-oriented activities, making it a great time for families and children
of all ages. The event will be held rain or shine. 



Come enjoy top-notch bluegrass bands. The
Cayce Events Committee is very excited to announce that headlining this year’s
event is Grasstowne.  The group is one of
the most respected bluegrass bands around. 
The band’s first three projects went to #1, #2 and #2 respectively on
the National Bluegrass Charts.   Their latest single “This Old Guitar & Me”
is currently in the top 15 on the singled chart and rising! 



 The festival is a free event, thanks to the generosity of several Cayce-area
businesses and organizations. Bring your lawn chairs, but no coolers or pets,
please. The Congaree Bluegrass Festival is an alcohol- and tobacco-free event.
Parking will be available in and around the City Hall Complex and
transportation from parking lots will be available to those who need special
