Carolina in the Fall Festival

This once-a-year music and food festival is a must. We only wish they held it more often! This outdoor and indoor music extravaganza is located in the center of town at 100 E Main St. Listen to music styles such as country, bluegrass, and more while mingling with friends and family. You can even bring your dog! Just note there is a leash law, and Rover has to stay outside.

While there is outdoor seating available, we suggest that you bring your own lawn chairs for The Carolina Stage, which is outdoors. Chairs are provided at the three indoor stages. You are also allowed to bring your own food, but we recommend taking advantage of all the great cuisine available at the food trucks. The adults will also love the beer and wine garden, where you can sample the area’s beverages.

You could drive to your next music event in a new 2023 Jeep Gladiator Overland 4×4! Stop by Randy Marion CDJR today and see this vehicle in person, and take a look at our full inventory of new and used vehicles. We are located at 2000 US-421.
