Local Tips
Pickens is the county seat. Table Rock State Park and Caesars Head offer world-class hiking, and the Jocassee Gorges is a botanical wonderland — some of the finest mountain scenery in the Southeast is right here at South Carolina's Blue Ridge edge.
The Fair
The Upper South Carolina State Fair, held at the Greenville-Pickens Speedway, serves the Pickens County and greater Upstate region at the foot of the Blue Ridge — home to Table Rock State Park, Caesars Head State Park, and the Jocassee Gorges Wilderness Area, alongside Lake Keowee and the growing Clemson University corridor communities.
What You'll Find There
Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating the Upstate's mountain farming heritage at the foot of the Blue Ridge.
