BONNEAU, S.C.—If you like boiled peanuts or roasted peanuts, Bonneau was the place to be this past weekend.

Friday kicked off the town’s annual Bonneau Peanut Festival.

Around 4,000 people attended the event.

Along with plenty of peanuts to chow down on in honor of the town’s agricultural heritage, there were lots of activities for the kids including a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round.

Of course, there was also lots of yummy food and good entertainment.

If you love shopping, there were plenty of local vendors on hand for the event.

This was the third year in a row for the event.

Prior to 2012, the festival was on long term hiatus for nearly twenty years.
