As I mentioned in a previous post, Clemson University is typically an integral piece in the lives of Lake Keowee residents. Today marks the first day of fall classes for Clemson students, and the city is buzzing with activity and fresh faces.
One of the great events every fall is the First Friday Parade. This parade is held every year on the Friday before the first home football game. The parade typically features Clemson University students and members of the Clemson city and community. The parade meanders along Highway 93 as Clemson students and residents gather along both sides of the road to partake in the festivities. It’s really a great scene as pre-school children and lifetime residents all enjoy the parade.
This year, the parade is September 5 at 6 p.m. The parade begins near the President’s house at highway 93 and travels down to Rigg’s field. Be sure to arrive early to grab a good seat! More information can be found at the Clemson University website.
