Saturday is Town Day, with 5k and fun on the Green

Posted on 30 April 2010.

The Town of Davidson host the annual Town Day spring festival on Saturday, May 1, from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. on the Village Green, Main Street and Concord Road. The day begins with the Day Care Dash, a 5K road race and fun run to benefit Davidson Cornelius Day Care. It continues all day with carnival games, food, arts and entertainment, music and booths on Main Street.
[Also Saturday: The Davidson Farmers Market returns for another regular season.]
A variety of professional and local talent will be appearing throughout the day on the main stage located at the Davidson Public Library. Local vendors will offer a variety of food and a wide range of items for sale.

5K REGISTRATION

Packet pickup for the 5k race is available Friday night, 5:30 to 7 p.m., at Davidson Elementary School on South Street, where they’ll also be hosting the annual pre-race Pasta Night. Registration and packet pickup will be available on race day from 6:30 to 7:45 a.m.

For more about Saturday’s road race, contact Courtenay O’Neil at the day care center, davidsondaycare@gmail.com, or 704-892-1228

STREET CLOSINGS

Downtown streets will be closed from 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. to accommodate the vendors and large crowds. Streets will be closed at Main Street between Concord Rd. and Chairman Blake and Lorimer between Concord Rd. and CVS parking lot.
