The Annual Banquet will feature a Member-focused theme where we can let our hair down and enjoy friendships, networking opportunity, and OYSTERS! We’ve been working for 2 years to get an Oyster Roast together and it’s finally going to happen. For the non-oyster eaters, we’ll have BBQ and Mac & Cheese, of course!
Last year’s Taste Inn event allowed Fountain Inn to finally get out of the house after months of being locked in. We doubled our turnout compared to our inaugural year in 2019. Enjoy a “Taste” from each restaurant in Fountain Inn on Main Street and dance the night (and calories) away.

We missed hosting this event in 2020 and are excited to get back at it in 2021! Main Street is blocked off again to celebrate our town’s historical writer Robert Quillen’s nationally syndicated comic featuring “Aunt Het.” (Check out the Museum’s exhibit to get the whole scoop.) This festival has local crafts and art vendors spread out over 3 blocks including a car show, live music, food trucks and activities for the kids.

Our annual Golf Tournament was replaced in 2020 with the Clay Shoot. We listened to our membership and changed it up! Come join us at the Clinton House, enjoy some amazing food, and compete with your co-workers and friends shooting shotguns at clay pigeons. This year’s event will be on a Friday and will include ammunition… Like we said, we’re listening.
EVERYTHING ELSE!

After the City of Fountain Inn kicks off Christmas “Inn” Our Town with carriage rides and the Christmas Tree Lighting, Main Street packs out for our annual Christmas Parade. As the sun sets, the floats light up the faces of kids and adults alike as we celebrate our businesses and community to highlight the reason for the season!
