Mayberry Comes to Scottsburg is a non-profit organization whose mission is to host an annual family friendly festival based on The Andy Griffith Show. Each year thousands of fans gather to experience the wholesome, down home atmosphere of a community where people care about each other and readily offer a smile and a handshake. Celebrities including original cast members from The Andy Griffith Show join a large number of Tribute Artists who portray characters from the show for a parade, meet and greet sessions, presentations and shows. There are vendor booths with crafts, food, games and other fun activities. This event supports several local organizations and charities through their participation and donations.
