• A number of car shows are held in South Carolina each year for car enthusiasts to show their vehicles and to view vehicles owned by others. Most shows have dozens of classes to participate in, such as classic cars and imports, and award cash prizes to the winners in each class. It is common for car shows in South Carolina to be part of larger events such as festivals and fairs, where the whole family can find something to interest them.
  
  

Clover Jaycees Auto Show and Fall Festival

• For one day in September, Main Street in Clover, South Carolina, becomes the site of the Jaycees Auto Show and Fall Festival. Food and retail vendors line the street with their booths while local bands and other entertainers perform throughout the morning and afternoon. This is a family event, so it includes children's activities. Entering a car in the show costs $15 in advance for any class or $20 at the gate (as of 2010).
