Everything worth knowing about that is on in Maxton and the towns around us — Pembroke, Red Springs, Laurinburg, Lumberton, Rowland, Wagram. Not just Commission events: church suppers, school fundraisers, markets, ball games, anything open to the public.
11 events coming up. Everything here is also on the Commission calendar. Details come off the organiser's flyer — always confirm with them before you travel.
A job fair with multiple employers on-site — meet employers, explore openings, submit applications and connect with NCWorks services. Veterans are encouraged to attend.
Food, vendors, live music, a bike show and bounce houses. Food-vendor applications closed 25 August.

The Collard Festival in November and the Christmas Parade in December both need underwriting. Sponsorship in a town this size is not corporate money — it is usually a few hundred dollars for the food, the tent hire or the inflatables, and your name goes on the day and on this page.
Rather ask first? Call the Commission on 910-240-4822 or email maxtonrecreation@gmail.com. Vendors selling at an event are a different thing — that is the vendor page.
Church, school, team, business or neighbourhood group — if it is open to the public we will put it up. Send the flyer, or just the details if there is no flyer.
The Commission posts community events as a service to residents. A listing here does not mean the Commission or the Town of Maxton organises, endorses, sponsors or vouches for the event. Check details with whoever is running it.
