City of Fayetteville seal

Greater Fayetteville is proud of its rich role in our nation's history and holds fast to the friendly feel of a true hometown, while providing the cultural and entertainment amenities of bigger cities.

You name, we've got it: sophisticated restaurants, museums, unique shopping, musical and sporting events – including the Fayetteville Woodpeckers Single-A minor league baseball team, whose games are played in the heart of downtown at Segra Stadium, which opened in 2019 – kid-friendly fun, elegant and quirky art galleries, gardens, trails and parks, not to mention nearby Fort Bragg that solidifies the city's deep roots in the military.

After all, we are the nation's first Military Sanctuary Community and were declared "America's Most Pro-Military Town" by TIME magazine.
