Last Stop: Once you’ve visited Cramerton, do take the seven minute drive over to McAdenville, famous as Christmas Town USA. This town is lit! A renowned destination for viewing Christmas lights, all residents of the town participate. Not limited to December, McAdenville’s charming Main Street shops offer Christmas themed wares all year round. Pick up a Christmastown branded mug, tee shirt or impressive artwork while leisurely perusing this beautiful place. #gogastonnc #mcadenville #christmastownusa #visitnc #catawbariver #holyangels #westernpiedmont #optoutside
There are several options to satisfy your hunger, with varieties to suit any taste, including authentic Italian fare at Terra Mia ......
and Cherub’s Café’s sister location, dubbed the Spruced Goose - a nod to the geese who inhabit McAdenville’s section of the South Fork River.
Signs admonish visitors not the feed the geese, but the speedy paddle by the resident flock toward any visitor on the bridge suggests that the geese hope you do.
Fun Facts: If you’re hankering for more treats from Floyd and Blackies, drop in to their storefront on McAdenville’s Main Street and grab one more decadent treat for the road. As Christmas approaches, both Wilkinson Boulevard and Interstate 85 become very busy with Christmastown traffic, with as many as 500,000 visitors each holiday season.
