JAMESTOWN, S.C. – Want some good, ‘ol country fun that the entire family can enjoy? If you said “yes,” then get ready for the upcoming Hell Hole Swamp Festival. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere in rural Berkeley County, the legendary festival, now in its 50th year, returns next month.
Trust us when we say that there is no other event like it! Where else can you watch a tobacco spitting contest and win an actual gator head for running a race?
“Our festivities promises to be a weekend full of entertainment for the whole family,” event organizers said.
The event will take place Saturday, July 3 at Jamestown Recreation Park from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Admission and parking are free. Blankets, chairs, dogs and coolers are all welcome.
A parade will kick things off at 12:30 p.m. The event will also include live entertainment, food trucks, arts and craft vendors, adult field games, a reptile zoo, children’s games, face painting, a silent auction and much more.
The festival will conclude with a fireworks show at 9 p.m.

The morning of the festival, event organizers will host their famous 10K Gator Run & Walk Race, which is the oldest 10K race in the South Carolina Lowcountry. The race/walk will take place at 8:15 a.m. To give everyone an opportunity to get out and be competitive, organizers have added a 5K race to the lineup for the first time.
