The South Carolina State Parks department announced it will offer free admission to all 47 state parks on Black Friday, November 28th.
The initiative is intended to encourage all residents and visitors to spend the day after Thanksgiving enjoying the outdoors instead of shopping, participating in the national #OptOutside movement.
By joining the movement, the State Park Service is foregoing its traditional Black Friday retail specials this year. The promotion provides an excellent opportunity for South Carolina residents to showcase local natural attractions to visiting friends and family.
Visitors are encouraged to post pictures of their experiences to social media using the hashtags #OptOutside and #OptOutsideSC to celebrate spending the day in nature.
