The focal point of the street festival is music on two stages, but there is plenty else to do. Visit our youth and teen areas for "hands on" creative projects and challenging activities. Kid's really enjoy the rides and petting zoo while mom and dad enjoy the variety of musical, from bluegrass, country, Christian, beach and top 40 tunes. All of the concerts are free. Teens can't say "there is nothing to do" when they have options such as the climbing wall, sports contests and "water wars" water balloon area.

Tasty food is plentiful at Spring Folly. The Harris Teeter Main Stage area features a food court of choices that includes the traditional hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries and soft drinks, but also the Lexington-style barbecue the South is known for. Food area near the children's ride area satisfy the whole gamut of hearty appetites.

If you're into history, Saturday is ideal for a walk back in time. The antique car show features hundreds of mint-condition vintage cars, trucks and law enforcement vehicles. Even the oldest Spring Folly visitor can view antique bicycles that are "before their time." Korner's Folly, Kernersville's most famous tourist attraction, opens its doors for free tours.
