There’s a spot along the Catawba River in South Carolina that explodes once a year with a blanket of exquisite lilies. The event is one of its kind in the world, and you’ll want to see it.

The Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies that bloom at Landsford Canal State Park are an amazing sight to see.

South Carolina State Parks celebrates this fleeting occurrence each year with a one-day event called “Lily Fest.” It’s usually scheduled from 12:00 - 5:00 on the third Sunday in May, but the date each year depends on the blooming season.
