Held each fall at scenic Dan Nicholas Park, Autumn Jubilee is one of North Carolina’s largest and most beloved seasonal festivals, drawing more than 40,000 visitors each year. Set against the backdrop of rolling woodlands and crisp October air, this long-running tradition transforms the park into a vibrant celebration of the season.
What began as a small arts and crafts show has grown into a signature regional event, known for its expansive lineup of handcrafted goods, live entertainment across multiple stages, and a wide variety of food vendors serving everything from classic festival favorites to local specialties. Visitors can spend the day browsing artisan booths, enjoying live music, and taking in the energy of a festival that blends community tradition with fall charm.
Autumn Jubilee stands out not just for its size, but for its setting. Unlike typical street festivals, this event unfolds within one of Rowan County’s most picturesque parks, offering a unique mix of natural beauty, open space, and family-friendly experiences. It’s a place where generations return year after year - whether to discover new artists, enjoy local flavors, or simply soak in the atmosphere of a true North Carolina fall.
Held rain or shine on the first full weekend in October, Autumn Jubilee has become a can’t-miss tradition for locals and visitors alike – an authentic celebration of community, creativity, and the season.
