Days are getting longer and the local calendar is filled with festivals, events, challenges, and fun experiences to put a little SPRING into your Step as you adventure and explore the mountain peaks and river banks of Stokes County, NC! So much to do around the ROCK this Spring, you’ll need more than a day to take it all in, make plans now to book an extended stay with a Bed & Breakfast, cabin, or vacation rental. Each weekend a show, concert, street festival, cruise in, performance, interactive activity and so much more. An escape to Stokes County is just what’s needed to re-energize and burn off those winter blues.
