Spirit of Christmas Past

Each Christmas season is filled with yuletide joy as the 12-day celebration called the Spirit of Christmas Past warms the hearts of Fountain Inn residents. Families can select from horse drawn carriage rides through candle-lit streets, participate in a home tour or enjoy the special music and entertainment throughout the festival.

Aunt Het Festival

In the Fall, the community comes together for the Aunt Het festival, named after former newspaper publisher Robert Quillen's cartoon character, "Aunt Het." The day long festival features arts and crafts, live entertainment, colorful characters, amusement rides, a car show and a myriad of tasty food booths.

Fall Golf Tournament

Bringing business leaders and other golf enthusiasts to the Fox Run Country Club each Fall, the annual Fall Golf tournament features a captain's choice round of golf and lunch.

Sponsored by the Fountain Inn Chamber of Commerce, the Fall Golf Tournament is one of two golf tournaments conducted throughout the year.

The Twilight Golf Tournament

In a unique springtime event, the Fountain Inn Chamber of Commerce invites golfers to the Carolina Springs Country Club for the "Twilight Golf Tournament." The golfers play nine holes in the afternoon then enjoy refreshments, before continuing to play the final nine holes with a special, glow in the dark golf ball.
