Description
Spring is in the air and it is time again for the annual MAY FEST on Main Street in downtown Rutherfordton. This year it just happens to also fall on Cinco de Mayo and we have a special treat for festival attendees to celebrate.
Event Details
Saturday kicks off with the 2018 Gears and Gables ride to benefit Rutherford Housing Partnership, a local non-profit organization that helps make much needed repairs to the homes of low-income families. The race starts at 8:00 am and provides both recreational and professional cyclists with a 24-mile, 49-mile and 62-mile option. The riding is good but the scenery is amazing! Additional information and applications can be found at rutherfordhousingpartnership.com/events.
For those of you that prefer a less physical adventure, take to the streets to check out this year’s vendors. You will see some new faces this year as well as some old time favorites like KidSenses who will be entertaining us once again with their hand’s on activities, the Rutherford County Visual Arts Guild and their very popular Oops Pottery Sale, and of course the talented and sought after face painting artists.
Kids always have fun in the Playland provided by R.S. Central Band that includes a rock wall, an inflatable obstacle course, and mechanical rides for the young and young at heart. Our local dance and gymnastics teams always impress us with their performances and this year will be no different. Our local Boy Scouts will host their annual Scout Show & District Pinewood Derby Race featuring interactive booths including a Tee Pee exhibit and Scouts in Indian regalia.
Last but not least is the food and music, the heart of any good festival. May Fest will have a wide selection of festival favorites such as funnel cakes, homemade lemonade, delicious barbecue, fried turkey legs, fried pies, roasted corn on the cob and more! Live entertainment is provided while you indulge your taste buds beginning at 11:00 with music on the courthouse lawn followed by our Cinco de Mayo surprise!
