For the fifth year in a row the Darlington NASCAR race is being kicked off with the Darlington Car Hauler Parade - which actually begins in Florence. The event starts at 4 PM on Thursday, May 7 in the parking lot of the Florence Civic Center with live music from Southern Blue, inflatables and games for the kids, giveaways from some of the vendors, and of course the awesome car haulers themselves. At 7 PM the haulers line up and travel to the Darlington Square where the festivities continue. The best part about it? Admission is FREE!

You can call them at 1-800-325-9005 or visit the website here: http://www.darlingtoncarhaulerparade.com/
