On Monday, July 3, the monthly DC Cruisers cruise in will be held in Downtown Mocksville from 5-8 p.m.

The classic and restored vehicles will be joined by antique tractors, which will be on display in parking lots just off North Main Street.
Tractor owners can unload their machines in the parking lot beside O’Reilley on Wilkesboro Street for the short drive to the display area.

What started as a lawnmower parade in Cooleemee has morphed into all things red, white and blue. The parade starts at 10 a.m., and those wanting to be in the parade (The only rules are to be patriotic and family friendly.) should line up at the elementary school on Marginal Street before 9:30.

The parade will end at town hall/Zachary House where hotdogs and drinks will be sold. There will be free watermelon and ice pops. There will also be a slip and slide for children younger than 12 to enjoy.
