We're already making plans for our next festival.
Plan to join us on April 9 & 10, 2027
Granville came alive this weekend as the 2026 Mayberry Lucy Festival filled every corner with charm, laughter, and nostalgia. Beloved tribute artists, original cast members, and their families brought the spirit of the show to life in ways that made the whole event feel personal and unforgettable.
​
From lively musical performances to the crowd-favorite Squad Car Obstacle Course, there was something happening at every turn. Add in a full day of great food, toe-tapping music, and picture-perfect weather, and it all came together for a weekend that felt nothing short of magical.
Here's just a few of our memories from 2026!
