South Carolina Peach Festival Starts Today

Shown below: 'The Peachoid,' a symbol of what was once South Carolina's largest cash crop, the peach. The Peachoid is found along I-85 in Cherokee County near the town of Gaffney, home of the South Carolina Peach Festival, which is underway now until June 29.

The northwestern South Carolina town of Gaffney in Cherokee County comes alive each year at this time as multiple thousands of people gather for the annual South Carolina Peach Festival.

Now in it's 32nd year, the Festival is being held in downtown Gaffney near the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce office and on the campus of Limestone College.

There will be plenty of food, entertainment, sporting events, dancing, and a tribute to local military personnel.
