Festival of Yesteryear: A Celebration of Early America

Focusing on the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, this program features reenactors demonstrating various aspects of daily life, including Colonial medicine, crime and punishment, music, toys and games and militia drills.

Living history groups include Camp Flintlock and the North Carolina Highland Regiment. Be sure to visit Apprentice Alley, where children can participate and learn a variety of trades through hands-on crafts and activities. Concessions are available. This event is held annually, in partnership with Fayetteville’s Lafayette Birthday Celebration honoring the Revolutionary War hero Marquis de Lafayette.
