Welcome to Aiken County: Spring Fun and Weather Preparedness

Hey there, Aiken County! As we cruise into late April, there’s a whole lot happening in our charming town! With the sun shining and temperatures warming up, it feels like the perfect time to step outside and enjoy all the community activities we’ve got lined up. But before we dive into our fun events, let’s chat about the weather—it’s important to know what’s coming your way!

Weather Forecast: Pleasant Days Ahead with a Chance of Rain

To start off this week, get ready for a partly cloudy morning, transitioning to an overcast afternoon. The high will hit around 84°F, with a gentle breeze from the southwest at 10-15 mph, making it a sweet day for outdoor adventures. By evening, temperatures will dip down to a comfy 61°F, as the winds change direction. So if you’re planning on heading out, grab a light sweater for the cool down!

On a side note, be aware that there’s a chance of severe weather later in the week. The Aiken County Public School District has announced an Asynchronous Learning Day on April 22 due to these weather forecasts. Richmond County Schools will also have e-learning days, so students can stay safe and learn from home!

Community Events: Get Ready to Join the Fun!

Now let’s get to the heart of the matter—there’s plenty happening in Aiken County to keep us all entertained. Our beloved Hopelands Concert Series is back in full swing every Monday, running all the way to June 30! If you’re a music lover, you won’t want to miss the Whiskey Business Band that’s performing on April 21 at 6:30 p.m. Bring along your lawn chairs, blankets, and a tasty picnic dinner. Non-alcoholic drinks are totally welcome. And don’t forget, if it rains, you can check the rain-out hotline at 803-643-4661 for updates on where to find the shows. Parking is available at the Green Boundary Club.

But that’s not all! On April 21 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., the Aiken Women in Black and Moms Demand Action will hold a Vigil for Peace and Nonviolence on Whiskey Road, right across from Fresh Market. It’s a great way for community members to come together and advocate for a peaceful future, and everyone is welcome to join.
