Every year, adventurers, families, and outdoor enthusiasts across the Upstate of South Carolina and beyond head to Everything Outdoor Fest a vibrant, inclusive, two-day festival dedicated to connecting people with nature, wellness, and outdoor living. Scheduled for November 1-2, 2025, at Historic Hopkins Farm in Simpsonville, this event is not just a gather-up—it’s a movement.

What It’s All About

Founded on the principle that outdoor life should be open to everyone—regardless of age, ability, or background, the Everything Outdoor Fest invites visitors to explore, play, learn, and engage. It’s produced by JBM & Associates, a seasoned event-production team that emphasizes quality and experience.

  • It’s non-profit, which emphasizes mission over margin

  • It’s designed to be inclusive, with adaptive and kids’ tracks.

  • It offers hands-on learning and real experiences—rather than just passive browsing.

  • It fosters local community and business participation, bringing together sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees from across the region.
