This annual event celebrates “The Andy Griffith Show,” a television comedy about the adventures of a small-town sheriff in a fictional town called Mayberry. The festival was first held in 1990 in actor Andy Griffith’s home town of Mount Airy, North Carolina. Highlights of the festival include concerts by the Doug Dillard Band, a “Sheriff’s Choice” golf tournament, and Colonel Tim’s Talent Time. There is also a parade, a Mayberry trivia contest, and a silent auction. Actors associated with the show are often special guests, and watching reruns is a favorite activity. Discuss
