Venture to Cary for Saturday’s Ultimate Spring Celebration in the Park

If your idea of a perfect morning involves a lakeside stroll and a heavy dose of North Carolina creativity, Cary has the hookup. The beloved Spring Daze Arts & Crafts Festival returns to the winding trails of Fred G. Bond Metro Park on Saturday, April 25, 2026. This isn’t your average street fair; it’s a massive showcase of over 170 local artists from across the state, tucked right into the pine trees and lakeside views. Since it falls right around Earth Day, the festival leans heavily into our local community spirit with hands-on activities, live music on multiple stages, and a dedicated “Earth Day Lane” to help you go green while you shop.

Expect the air to smell like festival food and spring blooms as you browse everything from handmade jewelry to high-end pottery. With the festival kicking off at 9 a.m., it’s the perfect spot to grab a morning coffee and wander before the afternoon crowds peak. Whether you’re hunting for a unique Mother’s Day gift or just want to lounge by the water with some local tunes, Spring Daze remains the gold standard for Triangle spring festivals.

📍 801 High House Rd, Cary, NC 27513
