Quick Facts

History & Context

A major city and commercial hub in North Carolina Rooted deep in North Carolina tradition are thousands of festivals and events celebrating the history and people across the state. Many events recognize arts and crafts, music, changing seasons and food. Other events, focusing on woolly worms and bald-headed men, are a little more unique in their celebration. Through these festivals, North Carolinians have preserved their heritage and created one-of-a-kind events to lure the most worldly of travelers. The state’s annual calendar of events includes a listing of a variety of celebrations for cities and towns throughout the state; so planning where to go and what to do is fun and convenient. The small town of Spivey’s Corner is nationally known for it’s increasingly popular “National Hollerin’ Contest,” started in recognition of hollering as a traditional form of communication. Morehead City’s “Bald is Beautiful” convention has also become a national attraction for hairless men from all over the world to participate in its annual competitions and events. North Carolinians love for food has generated several regional food celebrations throughout the Tar Heel State. The “Mount Olive Pickle Festival” and the “Lexington Barbecue Festival” are great examples of events held in appreciation of local specialties. There are an array of unique food celebrations such as the rather unusual “Ramp Festival” in Waynesville. Unsuspecting tourists should be forewarned: the ramp is a strong-tasting vegetable comparable to both garlic and onion. Equally unusual is the “Sonker Festival,” a well-kept secret in Mount Airy, where the community gathers to commemorate the deep-dish pie known throughout the area as a Sonker.
