Mint Hill NC's Favorite Festival is Mint Hill Madness

Have you ever seen dachshund races?  If you haven't and if you're curious, be sure to head to downtown Mint Hill NC this weekend to check them out at the Mint Hill Madness Festival.  The Festival opens Friday evening, September 25th at the Mint Hill Park on Fairview Road.  Stop by and you'll find rides, music, food, arts and crafts and plenty of Mint Hill neighbors.

The Mint Hill Madness parade kicks off at 9:30am on Saturday, September 26th, in downtown Mint Hill along Matthews-Mint Hill Road.  Saturday afternoon activities at the park include a chili cook-off, a dog show and the dachshund races, a big trike race, hot air balloon rides, and of course, lots of music and food.  Fireworks at 9pm conclude Saturday's festivities at Mint Hill Park.  Mint Hill Madness continues from 10am to 5pm at the park on Sunday with rides, music, food, and arts and crafts all day long.

Did you know that the artist who draws the Dennis the Menace cartoon lives in Mint Hill NC?  His name is Marcus Hamilton and you can enter a drawing to win original Dennis the Menace artwork donated by Mr. Hamilton during the festival. 

Dennis the Menace and racing dachshunds.  Two good reasons to take in Mint Hill Madness in downtown Mint Hill NC this weekend!
