The Park
Live music, a pig pickin’, and a tree lighting
Stay connected, check what’s coming up, and plan your next escape in the pines.
Every fourth Saturday
The Megan Hanley Band
Six to eight in the evening, on the fourth Saturday of the month through the summer. Musicians from all walks of life, fronted by Megan Hanley on alto vocals, playing crowd favourites from the 1970s through today. Bring a chair.
Through the year
The ones worth planning around
Dates move a little each season. Ask the office for this year’s dates — or follow the park on Facebook, where they go up first.
The Luau
High summer, on the common green.
The Fall Festival
Autumn, alongside the October Saturdays — every Saturday in October is a monster amount of fun, in their words.
The Pig Pickin’
Exactly what it sounds like, and the most North Carolina thing on the calendar.
The Christmas Tree Lighting
December, and the reason a number of families book their site a year out.
