Dogwood Festival Executive Director SARAHGRACE SNIPES will serve on the North Carolina Association of Festival & Events’ Board of Directors.
Other board members come from a variety of festivals and organizations across North Carolina including: Duplin County Tourism; Goldsboro and Wayne County Tourism; Historic Morganton Festival; North Carolina Whirligig Festival; North Carolina Pickle Festival; City of Kings Mountain-Special Events; City of Asheboro; Historic Morganton Festival; brioLIVE; North Carolina Black Bear Festival; InterACTive
Theater of Jef; Town of China Grove-Farmer's Day; North Carolina Apple Festival; and two legacy members.
Although Snipes became the executive director for the popular Fayetteville festival last year, this will be her first in-person Spring festival in the role, since the cancellation of the event over the last couple of years due to the pandemic. The Fayetteville Dogwood boasts an impressive lineup of national acts and activities
for the whole family, which ultimately encourages more people to come to Fayetteville for the event.
"The economic impact comes down to us bringing between 200-250 vendors to the Fayetteville area, with at least 50 percent of them being out- of-town visitors, which leads to them needing to book hotel rooms in the Fayetteville area. This includes our
entertainment as well," Snipes said in a recent interview with GFBJ.
