Pageland, SC Special Events & Permits: Street Fair Rules (2026)

Town Code Sec. 22-28, in Chapter 22's Article III on Public Amusements, states all carnival or street shows or any business of the like are hereby forbidden to show, parade or otherwise engage in business without the written permission of the council and the said permit shall specify the date, time, place, length of show, duration of appearance and all other details required by the council. That puts the approval authority with the town council itself rather than a staff-level permit desk, and gives council discretion to attach whatever additional conditions it wants beyond the four listed baseline items.

This is the operative rule for a traveling carnival, midway, or street-fair-style show wanting to operate in Pageland, distinct from the mobile food vendor licensing in Chapter 10, which covers food and beverage sales rather than amusement rides or shows, and distinct from the fireworks display permit in Sec. 16-76, which is issued by council specifically for public fireworks displays with at least ten days' notice. A carnival or street show operator should expect to bring a full schedule and site plan to council for sign-off well ahead of the event, since the ordinance requires the date, time, place, and duration to be fixed in the permit itself rather than left open-ended.
