North Carolina Pecan Harvest Festival Whiteville, North Carolina
Columbus County, surrounding the hamlet of Whiteville, is one of the top pecan-producing areas in North Carolina, and quite naturally that calls for a festival to celebrate the annual harvest of that tasty and nutritious nut. This year’s event, November 3-5, will feature a gala Pecan Parade, pecan cooking contests, and the Pecan Queen coronation. Other events include a burger cook-off, a car and truck show, a tour of homes, arts and crafts displays, and music from country and R&B bands.
