About the Festival
So, what’s in store for you? Well, according to Cara Slattery, owner of Cara Bella Boutique, this year’s Fall Festival is “more than twice the size of last year’s event.” The festivities will kick off at 10 a.m. and wrap up around 5 p.m. The best part? Both the event and parking at the city’s garages are free during festival hours. Slattery said, “It’s a great opportunity to get downtown and do some early holiday shopping.”
Boost for Local Business
The festival is not just about fun and frolic. It’s also about giving a boost to the local businesses. Agreeing to this, Slattery said that the Fall for Spartanburg Festival is a perfect chance to flourish. She believes it will encourage people to explore local restaurants and the ever-growing nightlife scene in downtown Spartanburg.
Festival Attractions
Adding to the excitement, the festival will feature performances from local musicians T.J. Jeter and DJ Nuvo. There will also be a wide variety of local artisans and craft vendors for anyone looking to pick up unique, handmade goodies. Don’t worry, families! The Children’s Museum of the Upstate will have special programs to keep the little ones engaged and entertained.
So mark your calendars, Spartanburg, and tread on! No rain check needed for this one. Let’s gear up to celebrate the spirit of fall along with our amazing community. See you at the Fall for Spartanburg Festival!
