Join us on Friday, July 20th for an evening of entertainment and activities for the whole family. Vendors and activities will be set up and ready for all of our guests. Live comedy & music entertainment begins at 7:00pm with the Cleverly's, straight from Branson Missouri! On Saturday, the parade begins at 10:00 a.m. with a wonderful showing of local floats, firetrucks, and other fun parade entrants. Afterwards, stroll down to Fitzgerald Park where the rest of the festivities are located. Bring your lawn chairs, sit back, relax, and enjoy the best live entertainment around. There are always lots of fresh, sweet, local peaches, arts & crafts, and of course, the best homemade peach ice cream in the Great State of North Carolina!
