A festival for farmers? Basically, yes. The China Grove Farmers Festival began 43 years ago as a way to honor local farmers and allow them to sell their produce. Farmers Day has grown to become one of the most lively street festivals in North Carolina. Colorful booths line Main Street with a variety of arts and craft items, local produce, agricultural displays, antique tractor displays, live music, kids activities, homemade ice cream, good and so much more!
