Fair Bluff Watermelon Festival
Ever see a watermelon tip the scales at more than 150 pounds? You’ll see that and a lot more by attending the annual Fair Bluff Watermelon Festival in the friendly small town Fair Bluff.
The festival’s centerpiece is a contest to determine North Carolina’s biggest watermelon, along with a contest for the best tasting watermelon. Other activities include live music, festival food and games, pageants and a parade led by the reigning North Carolina Watermelon Queen. The festival takes place beside the Lumber River where a rubber duck race occurs, and there are opportunities for tubing and kayaking.
