HollyFest 2025
HollyFest is an annual event put on by the Town of Holly Springs and for many it is a highlight of the fall season. Local business, artisans, community organizations, politicians, and the town itself are all represented. Having some live music, food trucks, and a beer garden is a great bonus.
HollyFest is one of the key events where the town is able to connect directly with the residents to share updates on current and future projects, highlight accomplishments, and make sure that anyone with questions is able to connect with the right person to get answers.
HollyFest provides a forum for local organizations to spread awareness. Pride of Holly Springs, the Holly Springs MLK Committee, the Holly Springs SkyHawks Radio Control Group, and Hawktimus Prime Robotics were just a few of the community organizations out raising awareness.
Our own Holly Springs Salamanders were on-site getting everyone hyped up for the 2026 season.
One of the true highlights for me was visiting the new Zen Tent hosted by the Holly Springs Accessible and Inclusive Recreation (AIR) program. This tent provided a quiet place for children (or anyone) who needed a moment away from the crowds and noise. Filled with toys and activities designed for children with unique sensory needs, this location was used throughout the day by many families (including my own). I’m proud to live in a community that recognizes the importance of providing opportunities for everyone to experience the joy of community recreation.
“The Town of Holly Springs is committed to offering Accessible and Inclusive Recreation (AIR) programs to meet the unique needs of youth and adults of all abilities. These programs provide opportunities for individuals with or without disabilities to come together for recreational, social, and educational activities in a safe and accepting environment.”
It’s an election year so it was no surprise to see the candidates for Town Council and Mayor in attendance. I enjoyed having an opportunity to speak with each candidate. I encourage everyone to use the opportunity to vote early or to vote in person - our community can only get better when it’s residents are represented.
The order the images appear on this page matches the order the tents were lined up.
Local businesses, artisans, and food trucks made filled Sugg Farm. From hot yoga to hot dogs, our community has a vibrant and diverse range of businesses and it was great to be able to chat with some many business owners to learn about what they have going on. Hopefully a few of them will be featured on HS150 soon!
