The Come-See-Me Festival is Rock Hill’s annual salute to spring. Each year, this ten-day festival brings over 80 events and activities to over 100,000 attendees.
Loaded with frogs, music, and fun, the festival brings together friends, neighbors, and festival-lovers from all over the United States and the world.
Come-See-Me is considered the largest, all-volunteer festival in South Carolina.
An award-winning festival, Come-See-Me was named the 2016 South Carolina Event of the Year. It’s also ranked as one of the Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 Spring Festivals for more than a decade.
Come-See-Me debuted in the spring of 1962 as a community project to encourage tourists, relatives, and friends to visit Rock Hill during its most beautiful season. What started as a weekend event has grown in popularity and expanded to 10 days.
Created by C.H. “Icky” Albright, a former Rock Hill Mayor and State Senator, Come-See-Me also was nurtured by Rock Hill resident and nationally acclaimed illustrator Vernon Grant.
Grant created Kellogg’s® celebrated gnomes, Snap, Crackle, and Pop®. He also created the Come-See-Me Festival’s mascot, Glen the Frog®, of which Grant designed more than 30 different styles.
Each year the festival chair selects a new logo and updates its design and colors.
Be sure to visit the historic, award-winning Glencairn Garden, created by Dr. David A. Bigger to experience the beauty and spirit of where the Come-See-Me Festival was born.
