Classic Fun Fest
This Classic tradition was one of last year’s most exciting gatherings! Non-stop entertainment, including music, karaoke, line dancing, games, prizes and talent show. Food trucks and some of the area’s best vendors show off Canton’s finest. Very special “must-see” appearances by Central State and Winston-Salem State universities’ marching bands.
