In Granville County, fall brings us outdoors. And when Granville goes outdoors…We often hit the streets. From food to music, to celebrating our heritage, Granville County festivals and events are uniquely Carolina.  Our events are not just for attending, but for engaging with and becoming part of our community. Come join us!!

The Artisan Marketplace with over 140 merchants is filled with returning favorites that include an extensive array of vendors offering jewelry, clothing of renaissance and medieval fashion, handmade art and décor, pottery and blown and torched glass demonstrations, and activities for children that include people powered amusement rides and countryside faire games such as the castle climbing wall, archery and tomato tossing at a fool.

Each Festival day is filled with an abundance of attractions. The 25-acre village of Fairhaven has sixteen stages packed with costumed performers offer a unique mix of continuous music, dance, comedy, and circus entertainment.
