Spring Jubilee Arts & Crafts Festival - Pendleton SC

Ranked #556 in Travel & Places, #26,906 overall | Donates to Friends of the Park

Spring Jubilee is a Juried Arts and Crafts Festival held the full weekend in April

Spring Jubilee 2012 on the Village Green in historic Pendleton SC April 7 and 8, 2012.

Just as the dogwoods begin to show their buds, the small historic town of Pendleton, SC begins to get busy preparing for Spring Jubilee. It is as if the town has awakened from a long winter's nap.

The Village Green is manicured and fertilized to assure its pretty green color. The new Pendleton Garden Club works hard preparing the Masonic Court Yard. The Pendleton Pride In Motion joins the Garden Club to replant the planters around the square with new spring flowers. The merchants are busy washing their windows and decorating them.

Everyone has one thing on their mind and that is to get our beautiful town ready for the largest event of the year: Spring Jubilee!

Spring Jubilee 2010 was a huge success with gorgeous weather, a great crowd, very talented Artisans, fantastic entertainment and delicious food. We appreciate everyone who participated in this event. Mark your calendar for April 7 and 8, 2012.

What Is Spring Jubilee

Spring Jubilee is a juried Arts and Crafts Festival held in historic Pendleton SC on the first weekend in April. There are usually approximately 90 vendors at this festival which draws a crowd of over 20,000 visitors to our little town.

Spring Jubilee is one of the events sponsored by Pendleton District Commission which represents the tri-counties of Pickens, Anderson and Oconee. Pendleton District Commission has always been housed at the Old Hunters Store on the square but this building is currently being renovated.

Emmeline Martin, the Tours/Events Coordinator for Pendleton District Commission, presently has her office in the old Guard House on our beautiful Village Green. Vicki Fletcher, Executive Director of Pendleton District Commission and Betsy Johnson, Curator of Collections, are both presently located in the Agricultural Museum on History Lane on the way to Wooburn Historic Home.

Former Event Coordinator, Jo McConnell says: "The Historic Pendleton Spring Jubilee has earned respect through the last thirty years by being twice named the BEST FESTIVAL IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN A COMMUNITY OF LESS THAN 3000, a TOP 100 EVENT by the American Bus Association and multi-winner of the TOP TWENTY EVENTS IN THE SOUTHEAST by the Southeast Tourism Society. Come and be part of an award-winning day in a beautiful historic setting."

Does Spring Jubilee Offer Any Entertainment?

Spring Jubilee in Pendleton SCOh yes, Emmeline has booked some wonderful entertainment to include singers, dancers, musicians, and more. Some of the local church choirs have performed as well as the school choruses. Banjo Players, Bands, and even an Elvis Impersonator have been on the stage. Jack Roper's Magic and Cravin' Melon acoustics were a big hit.

The Scottish Dancers will be back again this year. We have missed them. Pendleton is the Sister City to Stornoway, Scotland and we look forward to visits from our friends in Stornoway.

What Is There To Eat At Spring Jubilee?

Yummy!!

Lots and lots to eat!

PDC does not allow more than one vendor to sell the same items so there is a very large variety of great food.

Have you ever had a Funnel Cake? Well, Hevy Mann makes the best. His Fresh Squeezed Lemonade is also great. I heard he is having something new this year made with Sweet Potatoes. Yummy!

Old Fashioned Ice Cream, Barbecue, Hamburgers, and more. I haven't seen the list for this year but there is always lots to choose from.

Also, please check out our local restaurants.
1826 On The Green is housed in Farmers Hall which is right on the Village Green. Award Winning Chef, Lorett Hayes, will prepare a meal that you will remember in an atmosphere that you can't forget!
The Islander Pub and Grille located on Exchange Street is a great place to relax and meet your friends in between your shopping at the festival.
Village Baker not only has fresh made breads and deserts but also lunch items.
Granny's Grill is off the square on Greenville Street and offers a fantastic Southern Breakfast and Lunch.
Vaqueros Mexican Restaurant is right on the square on Queen Street

These are just a few of our restaurants. Please take time to visit them and to visit our shops in and around town. Thank you.

Nice Note From Jo McConnell 


Isn't Spring Jubilee blessed to have residents like OhMe and Sittonbull who share their enthusiasm for their home town event!!! Thanks for OhMe's hard work to put this informative lens on Squidoo. I just hope she doesn't send me a bill because it would cost a pretty penny. They are typical of all the residents of Pendleton who embrace Spring Jubilee and earn us rave reviews from the artists/crafters as the friendliest festival in South Carolina. We even have residents who arrive early to help the participants unpack - of course, that gives them first choice on purchases as they pick their favorite as they unpack. The Village Green is a beautiful setting and the surrounding businesses and restaurants welcome the visitors. Our goal is to bring people into the area for this special weekend so they'll come again during other parts of the year to enjoy our history, shopping, dining and friendly people. The dogwood blossoms are beautiful, but so our our fall leaves. More later.
