Clarendon County's Striped Bass Festival
a celebration of Spring and a tribute to the beauty of our county

The festival is our special salute to the Striped Bass, which put the Santee Cooper Lakes, Marion and Moultrie, and Clarendon County on the fishing maps of the world.

2008 Striped Bass Festival
April 19 - 27

In its 29th year, the Clarendon County Striped Bass Festival is “THE BIGGEST.” The Festival is a celebration of spring, a tribute to the beauty of our county, and a special salute to the Striped Bass, which put the Santee Cooper Lakes–Marion and Moultrie–and Clarendon County on the fishing map of the world.

The Striped Bass Festival is a fitting, fun way to bring together the citizens of our county and the many great visitors who attend each year.

Each April in Clarendon County, Mother Nature puts on a show that's hard to beat. Azalea, wisteria, iris, tulips, geranium, roses, gladiola and more are in full bloom, making Clarendon County a visual treasure.

The Striped Bass Festival complements the natural beauty of our area with fireworks, dances, a parade, boating events and a host of other activities.

Something is planned for everyone. Make plans to attend this fun-filled festival now by calling the Clarendon County Chamber of Commerce at 803.435.4405 or 800.731.LAKE (5253)
