“This is sponsored by the Lions Club here in Bluffton; there's a lot of kids’ activities and events and things that they support throughout the greater Bluffton area. You see people here every year that maybe you haven't seen them in a year, and it gives them a chance to rejoin with them and reconnect, and it's a lot of fun,” says Dan Groman, Chairman of the Bluffton Festival of Wheels.

The festival has been a Bluffton tradition since 1957.
