Year-Round Good Times & Community Spirit in Zebulon 

Zebulon has a way of bringing people together – whether it’s live music on a crisp fall evening, a holiday stroll, or one of the many festivals, parades, and outdoor movie nights to gather with family and friends.

Zebulon Candy Cane Lane

The annual holiday celebration, Candy Cane Lane, typically takes place in November on Arendell Avenue in downtown Zebulon. The community come together to enjoy the  free event featuring live music, crafts, games, hot chocolate, taste treats from area vendors, and even a visit from that jolly old elf, Santa Claus.

Christmas Parade

The holiday spirit marches on in December with Zebulon’s traditional Christmas Parade, back after a two-year hiatus. There’s music, floats, holiday lights, and fun for the whole family.
