Pickens' Businesses Band Together for Third Fridays

Pickens business owners want more people to discover all Pickens has to offer, and many of them have banded together for a special monthly event. 

According to Pickens City Administrator Katherine Brackett, business owners have joined forces to create an event called “Third Fridays”, much like Greenville’s “First Fridays”.

"Pickens has many gift shops, art galleries, and restaurants that have stepped up to participate," Brackett said.

The first Third Friday kicks off tonight at 6pm and will run until 9pm. 

She said while the Third Friday events are not an “official” city event or under the umbrella of the Main Street Program Pickens Revitalization Association, Pickens officials are still in great support of it and excited to see this.

"It is a great sign that we are building a business community here," Brackett said.
