Coker College founded, and still co-hosts, the annual and free Jazz! Carolina Festival.
The fourth weekend of every March, the RenoFest comes to Hartsville with excellent bluegrass music from a wide variety of bands from around the country.
Because of the enormous wealth that Sonoco and other industries have brought to the town, there are many businesses that one would not normally find in a town of this size. Also, Coker students help invigorate the downtown economy, attracting businesses that lend it a young and vibrant atmosphere. Most notable among these locations is the Midnight Rooster, a downtown Hartsville coffeeshop.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“Every community is an association of some kind and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Jesus would recommend you to pass the first day of the week rather otherwise than you pass it now, and to seek some other mode of bettering the morals of the community than by constraining each other to look grave on a Sunday, and to consider yourselves more virtuous in proportion to the idleness in which you pass one day in seven.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
