Downtown Abbeville, known locally as the Abbeville Square, is made up of historic structures and is home to many shops, boutiques, restaurants, The Belmont Inn, and the Abbeville Opera House, SC’s Official State Theatre.

Every October, the smell of BBQ fills the air as thousands gather for the Hogs and Hens BBQ Festival, which features live music and some of the best BBQ this side of the Mississippi.

Music brings visitors from all over the upstate back together in the spring for the Abbeville Spring Festival. Throughout the year, folks enjoy the Abbeville Live Concert Series, an outdoor event featuring amazing local live bands.
