A full day of celebration honoring 155 years of Kernersville and America's 250th anniversary
On April 11, 2026, Kernersville comes together for a milestone unlike any other—our town's 155th birthday celebrated alongside America's 250th anniversary. From morning demonstrations at historic sites to an evening festival under the stars, there is something for everyone.
Join neighbors and visitors across the community for a day filled with history, music, food, and fireworks. Welcome to Kernersville's biggest celebration yet.
The historic village will be buzzing with activity. Experience live blacksmithing, basket weaving, pottery making, and hands-on demonstrations that bring early Kernersville to life. Vendors will line Harmon Park alongside food trucks and live music. Keep an eye out for surprise flash mob performances throughout the day.
Details coming soon. Check back for updates!
Korner's Folly will celebrate its 146th birthday alongside Kernersville's 155th anniversary and America 250 during its 3rd Annual Community Day.

Adults can relax in the beer garden featuring local breweries while the whole family enjoys the vibrant festival atmosphere.
As night falls, the excitement reaches its peak with a spectacular fireworks show paired with a drone display, lighting up the Kernersville sky in a patriotic tribute to both our town and America 250.
