Joy & Lou made sure our vendors, performers and patrons had an amazing day yesterday at Fest in the West in western Cary!
9th year of producing this event for the Town of Cary!
What started with an idea to bring a festival and family fun to the 50,000 residents who call western Cary home has morphed into something truly unique.
It’s not a popup market. I. Fact we had only a handful of craft vendors. This festival is for families and especially kids ! Youth bands performed on a professional staff , dance groups had an amazing time on the Dance stage and our BIG FIELD was filled with obstacle courses, jungle gym, a stage coach, and inflatable obstacle courses, a costumed stilt walker, lawn games and aerial demonstrations. The smiles on families faces all day made all the months of work worth it!
Thank you for your continued support of our efforts to build community in this fast-growing area! Can’t wait to do it again in 2027!

Look for announcement at the end of the year for a date!
