| Clemson is truly "in
season, every season" with events and celebrations filling the community calendar
each month. Festivals, parades, and seasonal celebrations bring residents and
visitors together for endless fun! Springtime brings glorious
weather and an abundance of beautiful blossoms, which serve as a breath-taking backdrop
for area festivals. Residents and visitors mingle among dogwoods and azaleas in full
bloom while enjoying arts & crafts, live entertainment, and great food at several
spring festivals.
As spring gives way to the long, sunny days of summer, residents and
visitors take advantage of the surrounding lakes. At no other time is this more
evident than on the Fourth of July during Clemsonfest. After a full day of playing
on the shores of Lake Hartwell, crowds gather on the banks or lounge in boats anchored
nearby as hundreds of fireworks illuminate the night sky.
Autumn brings several festivals celebrating the diverse ethnic and
cultural heritage of the area. Of course, autumn also brings the return of Clemson
University students and Tiger football. The Welcome Back Festival, First Friday
Parade, Homecoming, and Tigerama are favorites of Clemson University students and a
multitude of loyal fans. |
