46th Annual Irmo Okra Strut Festival

Things to do in Columbia SC - Find Your Family Fun

By Irmo Okra Strut Festival September 26, 2019

The  Irmo Okra Strut  Festival is free to the public.  A Big THANKS to our  wonderful 2019  sponsors for making another year possible!

We are excited to announce the Irmo Okra Strut is coming back for it's 46th year!

This   free festival has been a southern favorite for 46 years. What started   as a way for the Lake Murray-Irmo Woman's Club to raise money for a new   library, has turned in to a spectacular event to end each summer.   With  beautiful Lake Murray and the Riverbanks Zoo nearby, the Okra  Strut is  the perfect addition to your end of summer vacation in  wonderful  Columbia, South Carolina. 

Saturday Headlining Act is Edwin McCain!

That   is right, the great American romantic is performing on the Irmo Main   stage Saturday September 28th. A southern favorite, Edwin has 20 years   of massive pop success, a great night for the whole family!

Visiting from out of town? 

The   Irmo Okra Strut Festival is a great event for that end of summer fun.   Whether you grew up eating Okra or have never tried it, our festival is   always a blast and full of many southern specialties. Located in the   heart of Irmo, South Carolina, during your stay you will enjoy the  quiet  comfort of suburban southern living; homemade food, welcoming   hospitality and never ending sweet tea. Our community welcomes you and   your family to join us for a stay.
