The South Carolina Peach Festival has provided family fun and entertainment for over 40 years for our community and surrounding communities that allow for lifelong memories. This event started in 1977 and has always been held in July during peak season for peaches. The SC Peach Festival gained national attention in 1978 when volunteers gathered and spent hundreds of hours preparing ingredients for the world’s largest peach pie. In 1989, the Peach Festival broke the Guinness world record for having the most guitarists playing and vocalists singing the same song, “Louie, Louie.” This event was broadcast on the nationally syndicated Guinness Records television show.
