A Small Town with a Historical Past and a HUGE Future

Fuquay-Varina (FeW-kWAY VAh-Ree-NUh)

SMALL TOWN ATMOSPHERE

Although growing, and we mean growing FAST, Fuquay-Varina still maintains it’s small-town atmosphere. Supporting local is a key factor to this along with the outstanding community Fuquay-Varina holds. With events held all over our town throughout all seasons, to local companies that are known world-wide, Fuquay-Varina has it all. Fuquay-Varina locals shop, drink, and eat local and there is a good reason for that. We have some of the best breweries around, delicious food found on every street in both Districts, and activities for all ages, young and old! Aviator Brewery, well-known all over in Grocery Stores and Gas Stations originated in Fuquay-Varina and is a hit for locals and visitors! Take a ride on the Brewquay Prowler to explore the multiple breweries Fuquay offers with a group of friends! Stop into our favorite dive-bar for a delicious custom drink and if you’re lucky, a yummy bite to eat if you see that neon burger sign lit up at The Brick! Anywhere you venture to in Fuquay-Varina, you are sure to find a smiling face!
