Finster Fest is coming up this weekend at the world-famous Rev. Howard Finster’s Paradise Garden in Pennville. Folks from all over come for the two-day event and past attendees will tell you that one of the highlights of the event is the Chattooga Garden Club Pimento Cheese Sandwiches. The Paradise Pimento Cheese is always a great-seller for the local garden club and members work hard before the festival each year preparing pounds and pounds of the delicious Southern favorite. Finster Fest will feature 70 folk, craft and fine artists, music and dance performances, and special guest presentations. In addition, patrons will experience a menu of tasty southern fare, a fun-filled children’s art activity area, and, of course, the chance to tour Howard Finster’s famous historic folk art environment. The festival runs from 10 AM until 5 PM both Saturday and Sunday. General admission is $10 (children 12 and under free), Chattooga County residents and Paradise Garden members $5, all with free parking at the Walmart on U.S. 27 just north of the Paradise Garden, with a complimentary shuttle provided all day. Handicap parking is available on site.
