The annual Cheerwine Festival is returning this year for one of the biggest ‘Carolina’ celebrations of the year.
This will be the first in-person Cheerwine Festival since 2019, due to the pandemic. This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, May 21st, from 12pm-10pm.
“We have the best fans around, and we can’t thank them enough for ‘spreading the cheer’ for generations by introducing Cheerwine to their friends and family,” said Joy Harper, head of marketing for Cheerwine and the great-great-granddaughter of Cheerwine’s founder.
“This party is a celebration of our loyal fans, our home state and all of the people who’ve helped make Cheerwine the iconic beverage it is today.”
