PAST EVENTS:

Spring Fling 2016

Saturday, April 2, 2016.  Beautiful spring weather, food, art, crafts and all the great music on the stage.  Larger than last year with more vendors and some great sponsors.

 

Fall for the Arts 2015

Originally scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd, this year's festival had to be postponed due to torrential rains that caused flooding all over the state.  It was called a "Thousand-Year Flood" by the media and we sure hope it's another thousand years before it rains like that again!  So our festival was moved to Saturday, November 14th, and coincided with the annual Holiday Market.  The weather was perfect and we had good crowds all day.  Our Rising Star winner was 12-year old Emma Reeves from Liberty.

 

Spring Fling 2015

Saturday, April 11, 2015.  Another beautiful day of art and entertainment in Easley! The Easley Progress sponsored our Entertainment on the Combined Utilities stage.  85+ vendors offered everything from glassware to textiles, original art to hand-poured candles and soaps.   People were literally dancing in the street as the Jamie Wright Band performed.

 

Rising Star - Spring 2015

Thursday, April 9th, at The Dream Center of Pickens County Auditorium.  This year, we added a new category for dramatic presentation and had one entry from Hannah Gunter, who performed an original spoken word poem.  This year's winner was Emily Schultz, who sang "On My Own" from Les Miserables.

 

Fall for the Arts 2014

Saturday, October 4, 2014.  With over 80 vendors, beautiful fall weather, and a variety of performers throughouth the day, the 2014 Fall for the Arts Festival was a huge success.  Thank you to all our vendors and artists for an amazing day of artistic celebration.

Spring Fling Arts Festival 2014

 

Saturday, April 5, 2014 at the Easley Farmer's Market in front of Easley City Hall.   Artists, Art Vendors, Local Food Vendors and Performances by local musicians and dancers.  The day was hugely successful with every booth space sold and beautiful weather to welcome the crowds that came to shop and enjoy the entertainment.  A large "community painting" was completed during the day and will be on display at the Fine Arts Center of Easley for the next few months.  We would like to thank our sponsors, vendors and performers for making this day a huge success!
