Spring Folly

From Spring Folly Website:

Spring Folly is Kernersville's largest and most comprehensive music festival. Held annually the first full weekend of May the festival attracts 20,000-25,000 people to downtown Kernersville for a weekend of wholesome family entertainment.

This year's Spring Folly will give area organizations an opportunity to demonstrate some of their programs. A performance area will be set up on North Main Street, providing a venue for gymnastic studios, dance studios, aerobics, karate and many other activities. Performance area hours are Saturday, 10AM-2PM. Groups performing every half hour.

The focal point of the street festival is music on two stages, but there is plenty else to do. Visit our youth and teen areas for "hands on" creative projects and challenging activities. Kid's really enjoy the rides and petting zoo while mom and dad enjoy the variety of musical, from bluegrass, country, Christian, beach and top 40 tunes. All of the concerts are free. Teens can't say "there is nothing to do" when they have options such as the climbing wall, sports contests and "water wars" water balloon area.

Tasty food is plentiful at Spring Folly. The Harris Teeter Main Stage area features a food court of choices that includes the traditional hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries and soft drinks, but also the Lexington-style barbecue the South is known for. Food area near the children's ride area satisfy the whole gamut of hearty appetites.

If you're into history, Saturday is ideal for a walk back in time. The antique car show features hundreds of mint-condition vintage cars, trucks and law enforcement vehicles. Even the oldest Spring Folly visitor can view antique bicycles that are "before their time." Korner's Folly, Kernersville's most famous tourist attraction, opens its doors for free tours. The entire historic district is featured in the free Spring Folly program guide. The guide provides a self-guided walking tour "down memory lane."

Just a few steps away from the music stages, do a little shopping at the Arts & Crafts show or our Commercial & Organizations vending area. Local and regional artisans will amaze you with unique creations. A stroll through the Commercial & Organization area provides an opportunity to show for the unique gift, explore special prices on all kinds of good an services, or to learn about the various organizations in our community.

Spring Folly is a weekend for Kernersville to shine. The entire community comes together to highlight what makes Kernersville special - friendly people. You'll find churches, non-profit organizations, civic clubs and community leaders all collaborating to put on a great event for you.

Spring Folly is "Fun For All, and All for Fun."
