The Award Winning Clayton Harvest Festival!
The Clayton Chamber of Commerce's (CCOC) Clayton Harvest Festival has roots dating back to 1951 when the Clayton Merchant's Association (now CCOC) hosted Clayton's first festival, the Cotton Festival. Thousands attended the festival each year, which ultimately included street dances, parades, milking contests, and greased pig races.
The Cotton Festival gave way to the Soybean Festival in the early 1970s as the area's industry changed. The Soybean Festival incorporated a beauty pageant and crowned the North Carolina Soybean Queen each year. In 1986 after the Soybean plant closed in Clayton, CCOC held the first Clayton Harvest Festival.
The current four-day festival incorporates events such as carnival rides, games, Squealin' on the Square BBQ competition and People's Choice, Family Night that includes family fun movie, Johnston County's largest vendor fair, Front Line Heroes, Car Show, Latin American Festival, and more!
