Welcome to NC Tripping’s Events Calendar, featuring the best events in NC! The calendar features a wonderful mix of popular annual events, quarterly or bi-monthly experiences, and special one-time events.

Many of these events have been featured on our social media pages while we personally attended them. Others are submitted by our statewide partners in the form of hosted event listings.

Note: If you’d like to submit an event, please visit this page.

Whether you’re searching for large festivals, one-time experiences, or local community events, we hope this helps you find something awesome in North Carolina.

The NC Tripping Events Calendar is viewable in three different formats. Each link will take you to

• Today in North Carolina (Empty if No Events are Happening)
• Monthly Calendar View
• List View
• Submit an NC Event
• NC Tripping Events Roundups
