Holly Springs, NC, Apr. 21, 2026 — SpringsFest (website) returns to downtown Holly Springs on Saturday, April 25th, bringing a full day of vendors, food trucks, music, and family activities to the town’s Sip N Stroll district.
Hosted by the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce, the free festival runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and marks the fifth year the Chamber has organized the event. What began as a community gathering has grown into one of the town’s largest single-day events, drawing residents and visitors into the downtown core.
More than 150 local vendors and small businesses are expected to participate, alongside a wide mix of food trucks and music throughout the day. This year’s soundtrack will be driven by two DJs spinning hits spanning multiple decades, creating a continuous, festival-style atmosphere throughout downtown.
Organizers say the event layout has been expanded to accommodate the increased participation and improve the overall flow within the Sip N Stroll district.
