Fall fun brought families to the downtown Golden Belt historic textile mill complex on Saturday to raise money for a nonprofit that saw its administrative building damaged in a fire in September.

McKee Agri Products has gracefully decided to donate the bales of straw for our maze. They have also asked us to try and sell the bales after the event for $2. All proceeds from the sale of bales will go directly to The John Avery Boys and girls Club.

We appreciate everyone's interest in our event. Please make sure to share this page with anyone you can think of. We want to do all we can to raise money for The John Avery Boys and Girls Club.

Golden Belt Fall Festival
October 27th from 11am to 3pm

Come celebrate the changing of seasons with the artists and businesses of Golden Belt! We have an afternoon of activities galore planned for both kids and adults.

Outside wander through the straw bale maze and pumpkin patch, and join in the pumpkin toss all hosted by Blend Café. The Artists of Golden Belt will be setting up a pumpkin decorating station, for an additional $5 you can take home your own pumpkin. Stop by and visit the artists of Dogstar Tattoo at their face painting tent, and bring the kids in costume to enter contests and to trick or treat. Also, bring your pet dressed ready to compete in the Triangle Pet Adoption costume contest. Kids can assemble fall craft projects at the table hosted by LabourLove Gallery. Durham’s Fire Department is bringing a 65 foot ladder truck and giving CPR demonstrations. Kids will also have the opportunity to play on the Shodor Foundation’s “Interactivate” site for exploration in science and mathematics.

Inside Liberty Arts, for a nominal fee, kids can schedule a time slot with George-ann Greth who will assist them in making a small glass pumpkin. Come upstairs in building 2 to The Cotton Room which is providing a delicious cookie decorating station and a trick or treating stop. They’re also providing their DJ “All Around Raleigh” for the event.

We’ve organized this festival to benefit the John Avery Boys and Girls Club. We’re donating 100% of the suggested entry fee set at $5. Help them rebuild after their recent fire!
