Event Details
For thirty-five years the Belton community has come together to celebrate hometown living in the midst of the upstate’s beautiful fall weather and foliage. This year’s Belton Standpipe Heritage and Arts Festival will combine the best of the past and infuse the event with new and fun activities that the whole family can enjoy.
Featuring local and regional entertainers with live onstage acts, unique arts and crafts from all over the United States, local food venues, and more, this festival is the longest continually running fall festival in Anderson County. The festival will take place on the square in Belton on Saturday, October 1, from 10am to 9pm.
There are many events in the week leading up to the festival including the Belton Center for the Arts Juried Art Show Opening and the Belton Area Museum Association’s annual Heritage Days at the Depot.
Beginning Friday, Sept. 30 and continuing all weekend, the Belton Tennis Association will host the South Carolina Men’s Collegiate Tennis Championships. Players representing 12 state colleges and universities will be competing in singles and doubles. Matches will be played at the Belton Tennis Center, Leda Poore Park and BHP High School and everyone is invited to cheer on the players.
Activities on the day of the festival are aplenty.
There will be an open car show on the square from 10am to 3pm. Vintage and antique automobiles as well as newer models will be entered into competition for cash prizes and trophies. Traditionally, over 100 cars have participated in the renowned cruise in each year.
