MINT HILL, NC – In less than 24 hours, Mint Hill Madness will take over Veterans Park!
Starting at 3:00 pm on Thursday, October 21, the family-friendly festival promises something for everyone: a carnival jam-packed with opportunities for family fun, awesome tunes on the Main Stage, and delicious food and treats.

Thursday from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm is “All You Can Ride Night” sponsored by Mint Hill Orthodontics. With the purchase of a $25 wristband, you can enjoy unlimited access to all carnival rides all night long! Note that wristbands do not include Midway games or axe-throwing.
At 7:00 pm, Thirsty Horses will kick off a weekend of amazing entertainment on the Novant Main Stage. Mint Hill Madness and all of the three-day festival’s main stage entertainment would not be possible without the sponsorship of Novant Health, who will also be on site administering COVID-19 vaccinations and flu shots on Saturday from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm.
“As proud members of the local community, we are excited to partner with the Town of Mint Hill to bring back Mint Hill Madness and provide families with three days of entertainment and fun that we all missed last year,” says Joy Greer, president and chief operating officer, Novant Health Mint Hill Medical Center. “Safety is always our top priority, and we are grateful that we have three safe and effective vaccines and additional ways of reducing risk including masking, social distancing and gathering in outdoor settings.”
Make an evening of it, and enjoy dinner from one of Mint Hill Madness’ many food vendors: Cain’s Corn Dogs, I Scream for Ice Cream, Mama K’s Kettle Corn, Party in a Pita, Sammy’s So Good, Steak Boys, World’s Greatest Funnel Cakes and Redneck Bubba BBQ. No need to pack a picnic blanket or worry about baking in the sun; thanks to WastePro, you’ll have it made in the shade as you dine at a table under the cover of the food tent.
