National Grits Festival

The National Grits Festival began around 1999 and took a 4-year hiatus that ended in 2017. At that time, Mayor Juanita Kinchen, city councilors, and local citizens restarted the festival. The first year back from hiatus enjoyed approximately 3,000 attendees. The Grits Festival committee helped fund the expansion of electricity to another portion of the city square and doubled the size of the festival in 2018. ^[15]
