NC Gold Festival
The 20th Annual NC Gold Festival on May 31 and June 1 was so much fun! We had over 60 vendors, multiple food trucks, an excellent variety of live music, the 1st Annual Coin + Currency Show, the 1st Annual NC Gold Car Show, and more! We are so excited to see what's coming next year!​
It's going to be hard to top the 20th Annual NC Gold Festival that was held on May 31 and June 1 of 2024, but we're going to try!
