30 minutes from us. Outlet shopping also found in Smithfield, NC. Smithfield outdoor flea market on weekends is a wonderful ethnic experience with local food trucks/vendors. Fresh fruit cups with sliced mango, lime juice and chili powder are the best! The indoor bakery is excellent! On the River you will find street festivals and musicians from time to time. Old Smithfield has beautiful historic homes.

Neighborhoods
Oakwood is our Historic District. Homes are beautiful and well maintained. You will see many Victorian style homes. On the borders of this neighborhood are stunning new ultra modern homes. Somehow it works! During the holidays many homeowners take part in the annual Candle Light Tour. Each home is unique and stunning. Homeowners share the history of their property with the hundreds of guests that partake in this seasonal tour. It is highly recommended.
