Spring into JoCo this season!
Spring in Johnston County means the beginning of festivals, fresh produce, and lots of fun! As the days last longer, be sure to use those extra hours of daylight to get outside on one of our many trails around the county. Travel along our Farmer's Markets and Local Produce Trail to find seasonal produce homegrown by our local farms. Don't forget to pick your own strawberries! Finally, plan ahead to attend JoCo's annual festivals, like the Smithfield Ham & Yam Festival or the East Coast Truckers Jamboree in Kenly. There's always something happening in Johnston County and you can look for the perfect spring activity or event using our calendar - which features concerts, trivia nights, vendor fairs, and more!
Johnston County is a destination located "just outside the city," only 30 minutes east of Raleigh, and convenient for visitors traveling through NC at the crossroads of I-95 and I-40! Be sure to #VisitJoCo! Our rich history, recreation, agritourism, and emerging culinary scene are just a few reasons to stop and stay a while...don't pass us by!
Make plans for a weekend trip to experience all we have to offer. Book a hotel stay, camping trip, or alternative lodging arrangements.
Take the time to explore and enjoy JoCo this spring! We offer you a festive JoCo welcome!
