The Dearing Mayfest / Centennial Committee has been busy planning this year’s celebration. We have something that will please everyone! Join us on May 1 in Dearing to share in the fun, shopping, food and entertainment. The day will start with the Parade at 9:00 am; followed by the Opening Ceremony at 9:30 am; and a variety of Entertainment and Dearing History Moments will be shared throughout the day from 10:00am to 4:00 pm.
One of the main attractions is our annual Burger Battle, a dedication to Miss Allene who cooked hamburgers for years in Dearing. Each contestant prepares 20 hamburgers from scratch to be judged by both the Official Hamburger Judges and the public choice awards. We challenge you to visit our website to enter the contest if you would like to be the new King of the Burgers! Winners will be announced at 1:00 pm.
This year we are giving a gift to our community children since it is our Centennial Year… we will have FREE inflatable’s for children 12 and under. Proceeds this year will go to The Good Samaritan House.

Ride along on a Tally-ho wagon through historic sites and beautiful rolling countryside of McDuffie County, following scarlet-coated hunters and well-trained hounds on a simulated fox hunt. An unforgettable McDuffie County tradition!
