Cayce’s First Giant Troll Takes Shape | Columbia News

Cayce, South Carolina, is set to unveil its first giant troll sculpture — a whimsical, eco-friendly masterpiece by world-famous artist Thomas Dambo — as part of a bold tourism push along the riverfront. Funded by local hospitality taxes and slated for 2027, this landmark project (only the third of its kind in the U.S. funded by a city) aims to boost visitor numbers while celebrating the town’s natural beauty. Though some residents questioned the cost and impact, supporters see it as a chance to shine on the national stage. With Dambo already enchanted by Cayce’s “magic” spots and SCETV documenting the build, the troll could become a symbol of community pride — and a test case for turning art into economic growth.
