First Day Hike 2 Banner Image

Always asking "What's there to do in Fayetteville?" Plenty, actually!

 

April (and Spring) is finally here, so there are far more things to do now in and around Fayetteville. It all starts this weekend with a wide range of events and activities!

 

Saturday, April 1, offers everything from live musical entrainment and sporting events to hiking in the woods and fishing with the family. You just need to decide how much time and bandwidth you have.

 

Boyz II Men highlight the entertainment options. The 1980s R&B supergroup will be at the Crown Theatre performing songs from their illustrious 30-year career! Rock aficionados can head to Paddy’s Irish Pub and listen to the Steady Hand Band LIVE performance.

Families can try the ever-popular Family Fishing Workshop at the John E. Pechmann Fishing Education Center. Learn basic fishing skills, then test them at the center’s well-stocked ponds. All tackle and bait are provided!
