SUMMARY:Ridge Spring Harvest Festival
DESCRIPTION:The mission of the Ridge Spring Harvest Festival is to provide a family-friendly festival to celebrate the region’s agricultural heritage. \n\n\n\nCome celebrate the harvest at Ridge Spring’s Annual Harvest Festival.   \n\n\n\nRidge Spring is a small town located in the heart of what locals call The Ridge Region of South Carolina. This region is known for its agricultural history\, and we look forward to celebrating and thanking our farmers each and every year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRidge Spring Harvest Festival History\n\n\n\nIf you love history\, Ridge Spring holds an irresistible charm. It is a community that was established over 100 years ago. Believe it or not\, Ridge Spring remains home to descendants of some of the original families. \n\n\n\nCountless generations have shared a community\, loved the same soil\, and offered unwavering loyalty to The Ridge. \n\n\n\nRidge Spring is situated on what is known as the “fall line” which bisects the town in the approximate trace of the Southern Railroad. The Sand Hills just below were dunes from the ancient prehistoric sea which covered the entire low country. \n\n\n\nAbove the “fall line” is the beginning of the Piedmont\, which extends North to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRidge Spring was originally a part of Old Edgefield District\, later Edgefield County. Since the Constitutional Convention of 1895\, it has been a part of the then-formed Saluda County. \n\n\n\nAlthough the Town was incorporated in 1882\, documents show there was a post office in Ridge Spring\, called the Ridge\, in 1806. The first settlers in the area were here over 100 years before the Town’s incorporation. \n\n\n\nAccording to the 1980 Census\, the town has a population of 699 and there are 360 housing units located within the corporate limits. \n\n\n\nThere are few communities left like the Ridge\, communities of people who have been born in and nourished by rural living. It remains agrarian and simple. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYet it is aware of the complex world\, urban\, scientific\, and sometimes glossy. Whether natives of Ridge Spring have gone afar to leave their mark or remain to live a simple life\, there is a pride in heritage that runs in the veins of all who have been touched by The Ridge. \n\n\n\nPortions of this were copied from History of Ridge Spring compiled in 1982 by permission of authors\, Mrs. Maynard Spigener Watson and Mrs. Fred Calvin Alexander. \n\n\n\nAll of this document with the exception of a few minor changes were taken from the program of the very first festival in Ridge Spring called the “Ridge Spring Centennial” \n\n\n\nThis shows that what was then is still now and that irresistible charm is still strong in the hearts of all who visit Ridge Spring. \n\n\n\nCome and join us as we celebrate and enjoy the parade\, arts and crafts\, music\, food\, and a whole lot more at the Ridge Spring Harvest Festival. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat you need to know:\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nBest Places to Stay (and more)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeather Forecast\n\n\n\nRIDGE SPRING SC
