At the Robeson County Farmers Market, every purchase goes straight to the farmers and small businesses offering their goods, keeping money in the local community rather than with a middleman. Shoppers can see where their food comes from and choose items without unnecessary additives or preservatives. Set in Lumberton’s Downtown Square, this friendly market highlights local producers and celebrates the spirit of supporting and shopping local.

North Carolina’s taco celebration returns to the Golf View Greenway in Hope Mills for a full day devoted to flavorful tacos, lively culture, and community spirit.

Live bands and performers will entertain throughout the event, and families can enjoy a dedicated Kids Zone with games and activities for younger guests. General admission is free, and VIP tickets will be available. The festival is also welcoming food trucks, local artisans, and commercial vendors, with limited space for participants.

Four ABKC shows are planned along with a fun show, showcasing American Bully, French Bulldog, Olde English, Cane Corso, Shortybull, and American Bulldog. Judging will be handled by Lou Manipon, Gina Moore, and Chris Moore.
