Taking place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Main Street — between Court and River Streets — the festival features kid-friendly activities and demonstrations from a variety of national and local exhibitors, like:

  • Build a Better World! with Fluor | Learn how Fluor designs and builds the world’s toughest projects as you step into the role of a Fluor construction worker.
  • Friction! With Dodge Industrial | Take on the challenge of overcoming friction on three different surfaces.
  • How Do Electronics Work? with Kyocera-AVX | Find out how science and technology in our electronic devices work.
  • Visualize! with Fox Carolina | Star on the silver screen at the Fox Carolina booth, where you can see what it would look like if you were on tv.
