Irmo is best known within South Carolina for the annual Okra Strut festival, a community event centred on the Southern staple vegetable. The town is part of the Columbia metropolitan area, northwest of the state capital and close to Lake Murray, the large reservoir created on the Saluda River. Its location places residential neighbourhoods and local businesses within easy reach of boating, fishing and public shoreline areas around the lake. A parade, food and live entertainment make the festival a defining local tradition. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Irmo and the Lake Murray area relate to their surroundings.
