South Carolina is made for spending time on the beach, teeing off on a golf course, fresh water and salt water fishing, enjoying the great outdoors at a South Carolina State Park, dining at award-winning restaurants and shopping at galleries, boutiques and outlet malls. Simply put, South Carolina is Made for Vacation.  

Before long, summer will make its arrival and our gardens will be blooming with beautiful, colorful blossoms. The 295-acre South Carolina Botanical Garden in Clemson is home to more than 400 varieties of camellias and it also boasts magnolias, hydrangeas and hollies. The azaleas, dogwoods, wisteria and daffodils make Mt. Pleasant's Cypress Gardens a natural beauty. Edisto Memorial Gardens, home to the South Carolina Festival of Roses, has some 4,000 plants representing 75 varieties of roses in Orangeburg.

South Carolina is definitely made for festivals. South Carolina celebrates food, culture, the outdoors and the arrival of a new season. Take part in the rolling-in-the-grits contest at the World Grits Festival, the classic car show at Pickens Azalea Festival, or celebrate the culture and heritage of the Lowcountry at the annual Gullah Festival in Mt. Pleasant. There are hundreds South Carolina festivals throughout the year. Include a festival in your next South Carolina vacation. However you decide to spend your time in South Carolina, we're sure you'll enjoy all the beautiful places we have to offer.  www.discoversouthcarolina.com
