NC Trail Days in Elkin May 30 to June 2, 2024

The town of Elkin is holding the 4th annual NC Trail Days from May 30 to June 2, 2024.

This festival celebrates the outdoors, the NC Mountains to Sea Trail, and the local trails in Elkin.

Elkin is a little over an hour north of Charlotte, in the western Foothills in the Yadkin Valley. Its openness to trails, its friendliness to the people who travel on the trails, and a ton of hard work by local people in creating and maintaining the trails have turned Elkin into a well-known Trail Town.
