Classic Car Show

If classic cars are your thing, head on down the Beaufort Street parking lot next to Mt. Horeb Lutheran Church on Labor Day and enjoy the 15th annual Classic Car show, sponsored by The Auto Shop of Chapin, LLC and presented by Columbia Classic Chevy club! With door prizes, trophies to win, and a lineup of beautiful classic cars to admire, this is an event that goes the extra mile.

Chapin Labor Day Parade and Festival

This is the big one, folks. Monday morning will see our teams head out through the heart of Chapin. Between the Grand Marshal, the panel of judges, and the other VIPs in the parade entries, it'll be a who's-who of South Carolina! Bring the whole family and enjoy the lineup of western themed floats.

After the clock runs out on the parade and everyone benches their floats, enjoy the famed Chapin Labor Day Festival taking place on Beaufort Street, Clark Street, and Lexington Avenue! With live music, tons of food options, a children’s carnival area, a train museum, and vendors from all over, it will be the place to be when Labor Day fires up! In addition to the downtown festivities, there will be a book sale in the community room of Chapin Town Hall for the duration of Labor Day weekend. Come stop by and bring the whole family for some holiday weekend fun!

September 2nd - September 8th, 2025

Taste of Chapin

The Taste of Chapin Restaurant Week returns in 2025, this year as a post-Labor Dat celebration. The lifeblood of any small town is their local businesses and nothing brings communities together like food. Our raffle system will work the same as years prior. To enter, bring a receipt from a Chapin-addressed restaurant of at least $5 dated during the designated Restaurant Week (Sept. 2nd 2025- Sept. 8th 2025) to town hall in exchange for one raffle ticket. There is no limit to the amount of entries allowed and, after the week concludes at 4pm on the 8th of September, Mayor Koon will draw one winning ticket of a fabulous prize!

Date: August 30-September 8, 2025

Location: Various Venues in Chapin, SC 29036.
