Travel back to the simpler and less troubled days of Andy Griffith’s Mayberry during the Mayberry Days celebration. They will be celebrating throughout the week with concerts, golf tournaments, and other events, but Saturday, September 27, is the big parade, a spectacle that is a lot of fun to watch, where there will be contests, activities, vendors, entertainment, and food in Mt Airy on Main Street and at other locations. See our Fall Activities guide for schedules and more information.
