From March till October, every fourth Friday is nothing less than a celebration in the Cool Spring Downtown District. They organize a monthly gathering known as '4th Friday'.
This event is a grand display of Fayetteville's best visual and performing arts, accompanied by live music and street performances. However, the 4th Friday of May is expected to be even more special as it also includes their unique Nerd Market.
The Nerd Market will set up on Anderson Street in Downtown Fayetteville on May 24 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The Nerd Market boasts an impressive lineup of over 30 vendors, offering a wide range of merchandise that caters to enthusiasts of comic books, anime, collectibles, and fantasy artwork. It's your ultimate destination for all things nerdy and beyond!
Come for the vendors and stay for the entertainment, a DJ and food truck rodeo on Green Street and Gillespie Street.
There will also be a costume contest. Attendees are encouraged to dress up as their favorite comic book, anime or fantasy character.
