As a parent of small children I am often asked by clients ideas of things they can do that are family friendly. Below is a small list of ideas. Moore County has many family friendly activites planned by the various communities or by civic and non profit groups. You can easily get overbooked. Enjoy!
First Night- Southern Pines- 5pm - 8 pm New Years. Kid Friendly and fun for the whole family- Magic- Music and Food. Something for everyone- free
Sandhills Gardens- Sandhills Community College- A quiet oasis with beautiful trails and scenery that changes every day. Free and kid friendly- Has nice visitor center and open space to picnic
Spring Fest - Southern Pines- A true street fair with rides for the kids, crafts, music, free performances by local schools- something for everyone. Fun bike races for kids.
First Fridays- Southern Pines-Started last year and will hopefully continue as an annual tradition. 5pm- 8pm- Very Family Friendly- This year May- October.
Buggy Festival- Carthage- Look for it in June. Something for kids of all ages. See antique cars from almost every decade. Buy crafts, Rides for kids are free!
Pet Parade- July 4thPinehurst- It is not often you can see a pony, cats, dogs and pets of every size dressed for the 4th. Patriotic music and community participation make this event special.
Farmers Day- Robbins- First Weekend in August. This has got to be one of the largest livestock parades on the East Coast. Kids love to see "cowboys". Vendors and family friendly fun is planned by the Robbins community -and almost all of the activities are free.
Malcolm Blue Festival- Malcolm Blue Farm Aberdeen- See a piece of our county history right in our back yard. My child loved panning for gold, petting animals, listening to bluegrass music and seeing sheep herded by dogs. A museum on sight with civil war era items. Look for it in September.
Blessing of the Hounds- Southern Pines- This is a Thanksgiving tradition. You do not have to be a horse person to enjoy the event. Family friendly. Hobby Field off Youngs Road. Around 10am.
Bob's Pizza Hwy 1 towards Vass. The owner is an avid collector. Cheap pizza- KID friendly and something for everyone to see. You will see games and kids toys you have probably forgotten about and loved.
