Fountain Peanut Festival

The Fountain Peanut Festival, now in its 6th year, is a celebration   of the community and of summer.  The Festival, which attracts   approximately 10,000 guests each year, is held on August 15th and 16th and we are striving to gain the reputation as one of the preeminent community   festivals in eastern North Carolina.  Set amidst the charming small town   atmosphere of Fountain's Main Street areas, the   Festival offers a wide variety of activities and entertainment for every   member of the family.  The Festival features music performances by local and regional artists.  Craft persons, artists and commercial firms come from   far and near to display and offer their creations and products to   festival goers.  An extensive selection of foods are offered each year   promising to offer something to tempt every palate.  The Festival also   offers many special diversions for our younger guests, such  family-oriented entertainers and amusement rides for all ages.  The Festival, with the exception of the amusement rides  is offered entirely free of charge to our   guests. Come join us for some old fashioned, family oriented fun at the   Fountain Peanut Festival.
