Town of Matthews issued the following announcement on Apr. 21.
The 14th annual BeachFest Matthews, presented by Novant Health – Matthews Medical Center, will take place Friday and Saturday, May 13 and 14 at Stumptown Park, 120 South Trade Street. Admission to the two-day festival is free.
BeachFest is much more than beach music! Families can enjoy carnival rides, interactive activities, and a “small shops boardwalk.” Have lunch or dinner at Food Truck Alley, visit the commercial exhibits on Sponsor Row, and dance to great beach music on the Kinetic Main Stage dance floor. Attendees can also try their hand at axe throwing this year, with The Axe Dood’s mobile throwing lanes.
Scheduled to perform during the two-day event are The Tonez, Blackwater, The Party Parrot Band, Rick Strickland Band, Carolina Soul Band, and The Chairmen of the Board.
To accommodate pedestrians and vendors, Trade Street will close between John Street and McDowell Street on Friday, May 13 at 9:00am. The Trade Street closure will move to Main Street at 5pm., until the event conclusion around midnight Saturday evening.
