Downtown Spartanburg will get a little loud on Sept. 14 as College Fest returns, bringing students from all seven Spartanburg County colleges together for a dance party on Morgan Square. The event is part of a strategy to connect students more closely to Spartanburg in hopes of keeping them here after graduation.

College Town capitalizes on the advantages offered by the large number of diverse colleges in order to create educational, social, service and career development opportunities for students.
