South Carolina Jazz Festival October 17-20
Jazz great Dizzy Gillespie proudly shared his Cheraw roots when performing across the world, and now Dizzy’s South Carolina hometown is getting ready to honor their most famous native son with the South Carolina Jazz Festival October 17-20.
Complete with plenty of jazz, the four-day celebration is the perfect opportunity to relax with family and friends.

Tickets are available online and at the Cheraw Community Center, 200 Powe Street.
The festival begins Thursday evening with a free outdoor concert on the Town Green and continues Friday and Saturday with area school jazz performances, early and late jazz restaurant venues, a jazzy breakfast, a 5K run/walk, a scholarship golf tournament, a “Dizzy” exhibit at the Heritage Center, a bebop parade, all-you-can-eat BBQ, children’s art activities, a pastel chalk art competition, a floral umbrella display, a Jazzmin high tea, and more.
