South Carolina Humanities Festival

Every year, The Humanities Council^SC sponsors the Humanities Festival in a community in South Carolina. Started in 1993 in honor of the Council's 20th Anniversary, the Humanities Festival has been held in thirteen different South Carolina cities. Each festival celebrates the local history and culture of the host community, engaging the citizens in lectures, discussions, films, and exhibits and facilitating partnerships between cultural organizations and community groups. Will your city be next?

The 2009 South Carolina Humanities Festival took place in Bennettsville, SC on November 20-21, 2009 in conjunction with the Jubilee Arts Festival and was a huge success. Special thanks to the festival host, the Marlboro County Arts Council, for all of their work and effort!
