The Flashbacks take the stage at 7pm.
Today's festivities conclude at 10pm and the festival starts back up at 2pm tomorrow.
On July 4, Encore Band will perform from 7pm until the fireworks, one of the Upstate's biggest displays, begin at 9:45pm.
Weather has impacted the Pickens Celebrates the Fourth event.
Pickens City Administrator Katherine Hendricks said that expected wet weather has forced the cancellation of the day activities, including rides, music, games and vendors.

Hendricks said the City of Pickens' fireworks show will still go on as planned. The fireworks will be set off over Main Street beginning at 10pm.
The predicted inclement weather has forced ClemsonFest, which was slated to be held today to be moved to Saturday.
The event will be held at Clemson Outdoor Recreation and Education (C.O.R.E.), formerly known as Y- Beach.
