Where should I park for the event?

Free parking is available in the gravel lots and paved areas around the Big Field at Dix Park, but expect a short walk to the main festival area.

Falling for Local at Dix Park is an autumn festival featuring North Carolina vendors, food trucks, and seasonal activities on the grass. It is a casual way to spend a Saturday outdoors while supporting area makers and businesses. If you are heading out, pack a large blanket and a stroller with sturdy wheels, as the event takes place on the uneven terrain of the Big Field. Admission is free, but you will want to bring card or cash for the food trucks and vendor booths. Parking is available on-site, though the walk from your car to the main activities can be long for toddlers, making a wagon a smart addition to your packing list. This event makes a great weekend outing because it combines a traditional market with plenty of open space for children to run around. You can grab lunch from a local truck, let the kids burn off energy on the lawn, and finish your grocery or gift shopping all in one trip.
