Things To Do in Fayetteville This Weekend: February 13 – February 15

Valentine's weekend in Fayetteville delivers high energy and playful twists across the calendar.

Monster X Tour is a high-octane monster truck show featuring massive, 10,000-plus-pound trucks competing in side-by-side racing, jaw-dropping stunts, freestyle action, and car-crushing mayhem. Fans can experience smoke, thunderous engines, and heart-pounding motorsport entertainment, with opportunities to get up close during pit parties and even ride in a monster truck for an extra-ticketed thrill. It's designed as family-friendly, adrenaline-packed fun that highlights the spectacle and raw power of extreme motorsports.

Garden After Dark at Cape Fear Botanical Garden transforms the scenic grounds into an adults-only nighttime experience where nature meets nightlife. At a moonlight event, DJ music, glowing games, craft cocktails, and hands-on displays of the wild side of nature create a warm environment for guests. Guests will have the opportunity to connect with nature and each other in an environment that is both socially engaging and outdoors, creating a truly memorable experience.

Valentine's Dinner & Murder Mystery, a Segra Stadium event, returns with an interactive evening that blends suspense, comedy, and indulgent dining. The audience is a participant in an unfolding mystery that shapes the setting as they interact with it and provide clues to solve the "crime." An all-you-can-eat buffet includes elevated versions of traditional food, including crab cakes, hearty entrees, and a variety of desserts that follow the theme, all of which will be part of the experience. 

The weekend lineup in Fayetteville offers a mix of romance, creativity, and hands-on fun. From themed celebrations and engaging theater to skill-building workshops, the variety makes it easy to plan an evening—or afternoon—that feels both entertaining and refreshingly different.

Weeknights in Fayetteville keep things light, social, and anything but routine. Whether it's learning new dance steps, testing trivia skills, getting creative with a drink in hand, or cheering on hometown action, these evenings offer easygoing ways to break up the week and have some fun.
