The city of Sanford is hosting Carolina Indie Fest, a FREE two-day, outdoor music festival, on September 18th and 19th, 2021.
Sanford is a bit to the southwest of the Triangle, but it’s close enough to make a very easy day trip. It’s a 43 minute drive from Raleigh, a 30 minute drive from Apex, and a 22 minute drive from Pittsboro.
