The Pee Dee will host the Palmetto State's two most prominent jazz events during the month of October. Hartsville's Jazz! Carolina and Cheraw's South Carolina Jazz Festival have both grown into 4-day events held across several locations. During the month of October, you can experience jazz in many different settings and hear musicians from across the country.
Jazz! Carolina will take place October 4th-7th in Hartsville. The 2012 event marks the 15th annual Jazz! Carolina held by Hartsville Downtown Development Association. Several events are scheduled, including a jazz crawl, a performance by the Hartsville Chamber Ensemble and the legendary downtown block party.

Cheraw will be hosting the South Carolina Jazz Festival from October 18th to 21st. This year marks the festival’s seventh year to celebrate jazz and the birthday of Cheraw native, Dizzy Gillespie.
There are activities planned during the weekend for all ages– the annual Dizzy Gillespie Scholarship Fund Golf Tournament, Be-bop parade, art, kids’ activities, a chalk competition, in-school performances, 5K Run/Walk by Faith Christian Academy, a Jazzy Breakfast with the Cheraw Rescue Squad, and a Jazz Luncheon hosted by the Southern African American Heritage Center.
