The BlueWay Festival

The 3rd Annual BlueWay Festival takes place August 28, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., at Baker Creek State Park, on the shore of beautiful Lake Thurmond in McCormick, South Carolina. Admission is free.

The festival celebrates the region as a premier destination for outdoor healthy living and playing. Our mission is to provide outdoor recreational experiences for all ages and abilities. Whether you come to watch our amazing lineup of professional performers or explore the many activities provided by our exhibitors and vendors, you will have a fun-filled day.

This year's performers include:

• The Freestyle Connection Pro BMX Stunt show, along with their Air Bag Ramp to cushion those extra high jumps. Prepare to be thrilled!
• Straight from the Hollywood studio of "America's Got Talent" come the Canine Stars! This group of rescue dogs and their owners will wow you with their talent and strong bonds. They will perform stunts of all types from agility, fast ball, high jumps, disc catching, dock jumping and more. They are sure to entertain and amaze.
• Pro Wake Boarder Joel Shradder will be returning to The BlueWay Festival to catch some jaw-dropping air and demonstrate his skills out on the water.
• We are happy to have Augusta Tomahawks with us showing how to stick a “hawk” accurately in a target. And yes, you get to try it too.
• It's time to get balanced when Brittney Conklin returns with Paddleboard Yoga demonstrations. We will have several friendly competitions, demonstrations of many outdoors skills and engaging activities for all. Paddleboards will be available to try.

For the kids, we have the huge water slide making its return along with a really long slip and slide. They won’t want to leave!

Our music lineup includes bands from across our region. Starting out will be Surrender Cobra from Greenwood, followed by She N She from the Augusta area. Ending the day will be a trio from the Greenville region, Crawford,ly Colt, and Waite. Listen and dance the day away!

While you are having fun, make sure you visit our delicious food vendors and maybe even sample a craft beer. Rumor has it that there may even be collaboration for a special brew created in honor of the BlueWay festival!
