North Carolina Watermelon Festival
110 Sycamore St, Murfreesboro, NC
Murfreesboro has hosted a watermelon festival since the mid-1980s, with a multi-day run each summer that includes a live band lineup, a parade, and watermelon-eating and seed-spitting contests. The festival relocated to the town from its 1950s Raleigh origins and reached its 41st Murfreesboro year in 2026. It remains one of the few surviving town-run watermelon festivals in the state.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
