AutumnFest 2023

October 7 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

First held in 1978, AutumnFest is one of Moore County’s most popular annual festivals, bringing thousands of people to the beautiful Downtown Park in Southern Pines on the first Saturday in October. The festival features arts, crafts, handmade items, live entertainment, delicious food, a 5K road race, youth sprint races, and more.

This year, AutumnFest will jury the arts, crafts, and handmade vendors, while providing an expanded food court located on Broad Street, and a dedicated area for the entertainment (see schedule below) and audience.Unlike in years past, the AutumnFest Committee will select the vendors with the goal to give attendees & vendors a more authentic arts & craft fair experience. The application deadline is June 1, 2023 and notification will begin June 15, 2023. Vendor fees will be returned if application is not accepted.
