- **Event Name**: CUP FEST - Pre-Carolina Cup Downtown Festival
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Get ready to party with Mother’s Finest the night before the Carolina Cup! The first ever CUP FEST will take over Downtown Camden and is FREE to attend. 

Experience live music all day long on two stages! Local and regional acts will start the party at 12:00 pm on the Greener Pastures Brewing South Stage, including Walker Gainey, The Green Swamp Collective, and Taylor Richardson and her band. Mother’s Finest takes to the mainstage at the intersection of Broad and Rutledge Streets at 6:00 pm. 

CUP FEST activities will also include a classic car cruise-in hosted by River Rat Classics, arcade games and mini golf for kids of all ages, inflatable obstacle course, a puppy petting zoo, specials from downtown merchants, street vendors and food trucks. Free parking will be available at Camden City Arena, 420 Broad Street, and a free shuttle service will run from 12:00 pm until 9:00 pm, provided by the King Haigler Express.

Mothers Finest has always been a band impossible to force into artificially-labelled boxes. One of the most energetic and charismatic groups to cut a swath through the music industry, Mothers Finest defies boundaries and creates its own genre. Led by superbly talented vocalists Glenn “Doc” Murdock and Joyce “Baby Jean” Kennedy, and anchored by the tight, crunchy rhythm section of Gary “Moses Mo” Moore and John “Red Devil” Hayes on guitars, Jerry “Wyzard” Seay on bass, and Dion Derek on drums, Mothers Finest drives through the pocket like a Mack truck and peels the paint off the walls. Now past their fiftieth year of crushing the groove and bangin’ their fans’ heads upside, Mothers Finest hasn’t lost any of their signature energy and passion. These veterans of the music industry – and Georgia Music Hall of Fame inductees – continue to tour, delighting long-time fans and drawing many new ones into the fold.

Sponsorsed in part by Savage, Royall &amp; Sheehen, The Haigler Hotel, Greener Pastures Brewing Co. and the Santee Wateree Regional Transportation Authority.
