The Season for Festivals

Ah, fall is here – crisp weather, delicious crunchy apples at farmers stands, clear blue skies, and – festivals! We have a huge number of wonderful festivals in Cabarrus County this year, and the hard part is just figuring out which to attend!

This weekend there’s the annual Gold Hill Founder’s Day Festival, which I attended last year. This quaint mining village is a blast from the past, with cute stores, a yummy restaurant called Miss Ruby’s, and great entertainment at teh annual celebration. Then the following weekend, it gets really crazy: county fair-style Midland Magic, Bost Grist Mill’s Annual Taste of Yesterday, and the opening weekend of the Carolina Renaissane Festival. If you can swing it, go to Midland Magic and Bost Grist Mill – they’re not far from each other, and you can hit the RenFest the following weekend.

Then, if that’s not enough, hit our Calendar of Events for more festivals, famer’s markets, and corn mazes. There’s no excuse to stay inside this fall!
