Come-See-Me
10 days of fabulous family fun!
April 17-26 in Rock Hill, SC
Join us Thursday, April 17 through Saturday, April 26 for 10 days of fun, food and entertainment at this year's Come-See-Me Festival!
Activities and events of all kinds keep you hoppin' around town as you enjoy the springtime beauty of Rock Hill! Whether you're a visitor, a newcomer, or a perennial Come-See-Me fan, you're guaranteed to have a great time during our 10-day festival.
Highlights of the opening weekend (April 17-20) include the annual Parade on Thursday, the Beach Bash on Friday featuring The Legends of Beach, and on Saturday and Sunday, Gourmet Gardens at Cherry Park where you can enjoy delicious food and a variety of entertainment.
During the week, many activities are planned, including concerts and family-oriented entertainment at Glencairn Garden, the birthplace of Come- See-Me and the Festival's mascot, Glen the Frog. Among the activities at Glencairn are Sundaes with Glen and Mother Goose and a theater production of The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.
The finale weekend (April 25-26) includes two popular events: Moonlight Jazz and Blues on Friday and the Tailgate Party & Fireworks and Extravaganza on Saturday. Premiering this year is a sanctioned barbeque competition matching up professional cookers from throughout the Southeast - and you can sample their creations at Moonlight Jazz and the Tailgate Party. And remember, these are just a sampling of the many activities offered!
This annual Festival, celebrating its 46th year, is possible through the support of many individuals and the corporate community. So, on behalf of the 2008 Board, the Festival team and countless volunteers, we invite you to share in Rock Hill's grand celebration of springtime . . . Come-See-Me!
