This weekend in Anderson, SC

Returning in 2026, this bike tour at Crossroads Fellowship Church features 25, 42, and 65 mile road routes suited to a variety of cycling experience levels. Registration is $50 and includes a ride T-shirt, a Lowcountry boil lunch after the ride, eight rest and refuel stations, and SAG support. Packet pickup is available before riders head out. The day focuses on fun, fitness, and fellowship, with a nod to Romans 12:1 about offering one’s life to God in worship.

Tackle a not-for-the-faint-of-heart out-and-back along the Doodle Trail, inspired by the 12-Hour Walk concept but scaled to a six-hour challenge. Participants will begin on the Easley side, cover about 8.5 miles to reach Pickens, break for lunch there, then make the 8.5-mile return to their cars. The total time could be a bit shorter or longer depending on pace and stops. A $20 accountability fee per person applies, and at the finish a name will be drawn to receive half of the total collected. For example, with ten participants the pot would be $200 and the drawing would award $100.

Grow something tasty and get creative at a hands-on activity where you paint your own flower pot, then plant a vegetable seedling to take home and tend. It is welcoming to kids, adults, and families, and no gardening experience is needed. The focus is simple... decorate, transplant, and leave with a personalized planter ready to thrive at home. Admission is $5 and includes one pot to decorate, all painting materials, and one vegetable starter plant, along with your finished planter to take with you. Expect a relaxed, creative vibe, a little dirt, plenty of color, and a take-home project you can watch grow.

Magic City Hippies take the stage with Miami-rooted flair, weaving funk, psychedelic pop, and dance-ready rhythms into a sound that feels both relaxed and electric. Evolving from the Robby Hunter Band, the trio cemented its identity with a 2015 self-titled release and has since built a reputation for genre-blurring songwriting and an energetic live presence, with appearances at Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Lollapalooza. Their catalog moves from the breezy hooks of the Hippie Castle EP to the deeper coastal moods of Modern Animal and the kaleidoscopic, post-pandemic uplift of Water Your Garden. A burst of singles in 2024, including the disco-funk spark of Givin’ Up On Lovin’ with NoMBe and the acid house–tinged I Can’t Let You Go, leads into Enemies in 2025, a groove-forward breakup album that fuses indie rock bite with nostalgic, synth-led textures. On stage, their shows are sweaty, jubilant, and inviting, powered by tight chemistry and years of touring that turn dance-floor momentum into a room-wide celebration. Casual listeners often leave as fans, carried by emotionally charged songs and rhythms built for movement.
