A Message from our Director
At this point, we are planning to have our award-winning NC
Black Bear Festival on the weekend of June 5th. But ultimately
it will be up to the governor and how many people he allows to
gather outside that will determine if we have a normal festival
or a hybrid event with as many in-person aspects as possible,
combined with virtual activities.
There are some positive signs, though. Th NC Agriculture
Commissioner has announced there will be a State Fair in
October. President Biden has said every American adult will have
the opportunity to be vaccinated by the end of May.
If we are able to have Bear Fest, we will take every precaution
to host a safe event.
Check back here for updates as well as our social media pages.
Thanks for your interest!
Tom Harrison,
Director, NC Black Bear Festival
