Day Trips from LKN
Soon all the local students will return to school and time will be limited for anything other than studies, music lessons, sports practice and other extra-curricular activities. Now is a great time for checking out the end of summer local events and day trips from LKN.
August 13 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Art in the Park
Blowing Park, NC
This one is a perennial favorite. You can never go wrong taking a trip of any kind to Blowing Rock. We have long lost count of how many day trips from LKN we have taken to Blowing Rock. There is an eclectic offering of one of a kind art work. The shops that line the main street are treasure troves and there are great restaurants too.
August 20 5:30 – 8:30 PM
Festival of Food Trucks
Downtown Mooresville, NC
The rain dampened this event a little last month, but hey, that’s summer. There are multiple cuisines and a variety of craft beers available.
August 20 4:00 PM -9:30 PM

Smithville Park, Cornelius, NC
We keep meaning to check this out. Maybe one of these times.
