The 2021 Festival D’Avion celebration of freedom and flight staged at the Moore County Airport has been moved from early April to late October 2021 because of continued COVID-19 restrictions, Tarheel Festivals LLC has announced.

The new dates for the Festival D’Avion will be October 29-30, 2021.

The third annual Festival D’Avion was on track to be the largest and best to date in the spring of 2020, but the event joined a long list of community activities across the Sandhills, the state of North Carolina, and the United States to be postponed due to health precautions.  Continued concerns for mass gatherings and timing of a vaccine distribution caused the event date to be postponed until this October.
