Come See Me Festival

General information

Join the fun at various activities showcasing Rock Hill, its gardens and hospitality. Events center around music, all things spring, and enjoying folks in the community.

Winner of the SC Event of the Year 2014, 2015 and 2016 Come-See-Me is considered the largest, all-volunteer festival in South Carolina, the Come-See-Me Festival attracts more than 125,000 participants and visitors each year. The festival has been ranked in the Southeast's Top 20 Spring festivals.

The Festival's mascot, "Glen the Frog"®, was also created by Mr. Grant, who designed over 30 different "Glens". A new logo representing each new festival is selected yearly with an updated design and new colors.

The Festival was the idea of its first chairman C. H. "Ickey" Albright, former Rock Hill Mayor and State Senator, and was nurtured by nationally acclaimed illustrator Vernon Grant, a Rock Hill resident who created cereal's celebrated gnomes, "Snap, Crackle, and Pop".®

A central focus of the Festival has always been the historic, award-winning Glencairn Garden, created by Dr. David A. Bigger and given to the City of Rock Hill in 1958. Over 3,500 azaleas are surrounded by camellias, dogwood, wisteria and a variety of flowers and trees.
