To say that we’re a festive bunch here in North Carolina is an understatement. Whatever time of year and whatever the occasion, you will find communities coming together to celebrate.
We’ve pulled together a list of 101 unique festivals North Carolina has to offer — many of which are sponsored by electric cooperatives — and grouped them by month. Check this list year-round to ensure that, whatever your mood, you’ll be able to join in the fun.

You'll find baked goods, works by artists and crafters, music, booths for regional crafts and local charities, children's activities, a silent auction, and not one, but TWO raffles - one for a handcrafted jewelry box and another for a framed, numbered print by well-known artist, Stephen Shoemaker.
Lunch is available - barbecued chickens and hot dogs and all the trimmings.
