Celebrate 50 Years of the Irmo Okra Strut

Lexington Medical Center’s Irmo Okra Strut Festival will celebrate its 50th anniversary on Friday, September 26, and Saturday, September 27. This free event, made possible by generous sponsors, offers family fun, live music and all things okra. Since last year’s event was canceled due to Hurricane Helene, this year will officially mark the 50th anniversary of the festival.

Kicking off the weekend, Friday night will feature a special live music celebration at the Prisma Health Amphitheater at Moore Park beginning at 7 p.m. The Root Doctors will open the night with their signature high-energy funk performance, followed by the legendary Cowboy Mouth, known for their explosive blend of rock, blues, punk, country, pop and soul. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure a good spot for the performances.

Location: 7473 Church St., Irmo. For more information, visit OkraStrut.com.
