Westminster’s SC Apple Festival Cancelled

There will be no South Carolina Apple Festival this year in Westminster and in the apple-growing areas of rural Oconee due to the ongoing pandemic. Instead of holding the Craft Fair on Main Street this year, the Apple Festival Association will be celebrating South Carolina’s apple growers on social media and are encouraging everyone to visit area orchards to pick up your apples this year. Local business owners are also encouraged to
decorate store fronts with apples and for the community to shop local. Next year will mark the 60th anniversary of the South Carolina Apple Festival, and current plans are to hold the Main Street event in 2021.
