What you need to know
The tiny Lowcountry town of St. George claims to eat more grits per capita than anywhere on earth, and its World Grits Festival proves it with three days of grits meals, a corn-grinding demo, a parade and the famously messy 'Rolling in the Grits' contest where competitors dive into a vat (the 2026 edition ran April 10-12). 2027 is not yet officially dated — plan the second-weekend-of-April pattern, roughly April 9-11, 2027. St. George sits right on I-95, making it an easy snowbird-corridor stop, and Givhans Ferry State Park on the Edisto River has an RV campground about 25 minutes east for a blackwater-river basecamp.

Insider tip
Givhans Ferry State Park (Edisto River, ~25 min east) is the nearest state-park RV base; St. George's I-95 location also makes the festival a natural spring snowbird-corridor overnight.
