What is it that really sets a festival or event apart from the rest? For foodies, it might be really good food like what you’d find at a cook-off or competition. For some, perhaps it’s the quality of music or entertainment, such as when a big name is featured at the event. Well, for those who like a lot of fun things to do at a festival, especially when you have kids you’re taking with you who get bored at the drop of a hat, we’ve got one of the most fun fall festivals in South Carolina that’s perfect for families.

Denver Downs Farm is located in the upstate city of Anderson. It was founded in 1869 by William Dunklin Garrison, who had been a Captain in the Confederacy during the War Between the States. He and his wife, Ester Annie "Essie" Reid raised their family while working the cotton farm, which expanded to include dairy under his son when he returned from World War II.

The farm is still owned and operated by the Garrison family, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and once again transitioned in 1994 to focus on crops, beef cattle, and agri-tourism and entertainment, hosting seasonal events like a corn maze and farm festivals. The Denver Downs Farm Festival runs throughout the autumn season Thursdays through Sundays and has been recognized as the 5th best corn maze in the country by the 10Best Readers' Choice awards.
