Two Country Concerts Set for Celebrate Anderson

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

Anderson County’s annual Labor Day weekend event, Celebrate Anderson, will feature two country music concerts this year, along with food and fireworks.

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the event and will include Randy Houser on Aug. 31, and Ashley McBryde on Sept. 1. The weekend will also feature fireworks, food, activities for kids and more.

Both concerts are open to the public, but require a free ticket available at www.andersonevents.com. Organizers are expecting both events to reach capacity and encourage fans to get tickets early. 

The weekend also includes hot air balloons from all over the nation as part of the Cancer Association of Anderson’s annual “Hot Air Affair” fundraiser event, which also aims to increase awareness of the mission of hope and support provided by the Cancer Association of Anderson. For volunteer or sponsorship opportunities at the Hot Air Affair, please email Angela@CAAnderson.org or call 864-222-3500

“Celebrate Anderson has been something families can look forward to being free for 25 years, and we are thankful for the continued support of our partners at Michelin and Arthrex in making this possible,” said Anderson County Administrator in a release about the event.

The finale of the event will be a fireworks show set for around 9 p.m. Sept. 1.
