Winter Season

We're not as formal with our event in the winter months as we are when temperatures warm up. Typically what happens in from Dec-Feb is that people come and meet over dinner. So if you're driving through town during that time, come on in and warm up with dinner. We're here!

2011

We are getting geared up for our 2011 season and we'll be posting a lot of information on Facebook too. If you have any suggestions, please share them with us. thank you!

About Our Town

Oakboro, North Carolina is a town of 1,199 people. Their can-do attitude is reflected in a new museum, new park, popular events and millions of dollars of grants they've received for all kinds of improvements.

Historically, it was a textile town. When Stanly Knitting Mills closed in the 1990s, the downtown dried up. Local investors bought old buildings, fixed them up and laid the seeds for a new economy. Today, nearly 240,000 people come to Oakboro for events, music and antique shopping. Why, you can even learn to fly remote planes!
