The 2021 Mayberry Days Festival is taking place in North Carolina, and if you’re a fan of The Andy Griffith Show, you should take the time to be there! You’ll be able to take a step back in time from September 22nd to the 26th and experience all things Mayberry.
Festival-goers can enjoy a game of checkers and a soda, and, if you can stick around until Saturday, you can enter a checkers contest! There’s also a number of food-eating contests to participate in, including one that consists of Andy’s favorite meat; the pork chop!
There’s also a pie-eating contest, which consists of “Aunt Bee’s Crustless Cream Pies,” which is both an adults and kids contest! Also, if you’re able to be up at 9 a.m. on Saturday, September 25th, you can snag an upfront seat along the street between the BB&T Bank and the Andy Griffith Playhouse so you can enjoy a parade, filled with costumed people who look a lot like the characters we know and love.
