Oakboro NC: Small-Town Heart of Stanly County

Oakboro, NC: Small-Town Heart of Stanly County

Oakboro, NC, nestled in the center of Stanly County, is a town where community truly comes first. Known for its July 4th celebration, classic car cruise-ins, and Friday night lights, Oakboro blends history with neighborly living. It is like going back in time to realize maybe you don’t need the Starbucks and Target 5 minutes away.

History and Traditions

Founded in the early 1900s, Oakboro has kept its history alive through annual festivals and community traditions. The Oakboro July 4th Celebration is one of the longest-running Independence Day events in North Carolina, featuring parades, fireworks, and a sense of hometown pride. “Every year, people come from all over the Charlotte region for this parade. Where else can you see the old Mayberry police car, a line-up of tractors, 25 beauty queens, and a lady riding a cow?” said Danielle Edwards.

Events that Define Oakboro

  • Oakboro Cruise-In: A monthly classic car show that turns Main Street into a rolling history lesson.
  • Oakboro July 4th Festival: A full week of parades, pageants, rides, and fireworks.
  • Oakboro Music and Parades: From Christmas to Veterans Day, Oakboro knows how to fill a calendar.

The July 4th fireworks go off at 11 pm because the carnival is the main attraction and fundraiser for the fire department. Check out the annual July 4th schedule online and plan your family fun.

Parks and Outdoor Spaces

The Oakboro District Park offers ballfields, workout stations, playgrounds, and an impressive competition-level disc golf course, making it a hub for families and weekend activities.

“The best part is you have the park all to yourself and rarely see anyone! Getting lost in the tall pine trees, to spotting turtles in the pond is always our favorite.” – Danielle Edwards
