LOCAL MUSIC SCENE
I personally think that Fayetteville is blessed with some of the best local/independent musicians in the world. Unfortunately most people have never heard of most of them. Every genre is represented here and some of these young men and women are as good as the big name stars. They just choose to be here. Check out this website - Fayetteville Live Music Scene - for information about our local musicians and what is going on in the area.
4TH FRIDAYS

DOGWOOD FESTIVAL
It all began in 1982 when Fayetteville, NC was proclaimed “The City of Dogwoods”. The following spring the first Dogwood Festival was held and since that time the festival has continued to grow and evolve into one of the area’s favorite festivals. With approximately 30 different events including everything from sporting events to concerts, street dances to children’s events, the festival maintains a “something for everyone” philosophy. The 2006 Fayetteville Dogwood Festival is scheduled for April 28-30, and promises to be bigger and better than ever. The jewel in the festival crown is the street fair, which will take place all day Saturday and Sunday in downtown Fayetteville. Artists, craftsmen, food vendors, face painters, musicians, performers and more will line the streets as area residents and visitors gather to celebrate the sights, sounds, and smells of Fayetteville’s only spring time festival.
