Festivals in McCormick County
We love having a good time! McCormick County is welcoming and vibrant all year round, but the area comes alive during our festivals. Plan to visit us for these large-scale events throughout the year.
Celebrate all there is to enjoy. Outdoors.
Enjoy boating, biking, kayaking, disc golf and more! This outdoor festival is held each summer at Baker Creek State Park. Click through for details.
McCormick Gold Rush Festival
The annual Gold Rush Festival, held in September, is a huge regional draw to the gold mine at McCormick, as well as the town itself. Music, local crafts, food, and entertainment abound in this celebration of the town’s successful run as a source of gold, gems and precious metals. Click through for details.
Bells & Whistles 29835 Festival is a celebration of Spring and our Rail town heritage. Our county seat, Town of McCormick, is special because the train still goes through our downtown main street every day, reminding our residents and visitors if it was not for the development of the railroad through our county we would not have existed.
The mission of the McCormick County Chamber of Commerce is to provide leadership and vision, programs, projects and initiatives that will promote and serve the community, its businesses and its citizens. We serve the whole county that includes our historic railtowns of Mt. Carmel, Willington, McCormick, Plum Branch, Parksville, Modoc and Clarks Hill.
