Did you know the Irmo Okra Strut started with a single, massive goal?

Back in the day, the Lake Murray-Irmo Woman's Club founded the festival to raise money to build Irmo’s very first public library. Thanks to an incredible community response, the project was a success. In fact, the Strut grew so fast that the Town of Irmo eventually stepped in to manage the festival.

To honor the women who started it all and support their ongoing charitable work, one legendary rule remains unbroken:

✨ The Lake Murray-Irmo Women's Club retains the exclusive right as the SOLE provider of fried okra at the festival. ✨

While other food vendors are warmly encouraged to bring creative okra-based menu items to the festival, crispy fried okra belongs strictly to the Women's Club!

When you grab that piping hot box of golden, crispy okra at the Strut, you are not just eating the best snack in town—you are tasting a piece of Irmo history and supporting the club that made it all possible.
