Faith, NC

Tucked away in Rowan County, Faith is a quiet, close-knit town best known for throwing one of the biggest Fourth of July celebrations in North Carolina. For a full week each summer, thousands of visitors pack Main Street for parades, carnival rides, homemade barbecue, and fireworks. The rest of the year, Faith returns to its peaceful roots, offering a classic small-town feel with deep ties to the area's historic granite quarries and a welcoming community atmosphere for newcomers.
