A Celebration of McDowell’s Comback

Join us at the Vendor Village, with the Town of Old Fort, the McDowell Chamber of Commerce and Destination McDowell for a ribbon cutting that will celebrate the resilience, renewal and rebirth Old Fort businesses and people have experienced over the last year. 

We’ll gather at the corner of Water Street and Catawba Avenue, right next to the Mountain Gateway Museum fountain.

This is more than a ribbon cutting — it’s a declaration:
Old Fort is open for business, rebuilding with pride, and ready for what’s next.
