The Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation offers monthly free carriage rides through Downtown Smithfield.  We hope that you'll enjoy your evening downtown shopping, dining, and enjoying our locally owned businesses!

Free carriage rides are offered from 6-9pm on the third Friday of each month (please note that we offer Christmas Carriage Rides in December, so the schedule may vary).  Carriage rides begin at the corner of Third and Market streets, and reservations are required, as space is limited. Please visit the Historic Downtown Smithfield, NC Facebook page, where you will find the link to register posted approximately 1-2 weeks before carriage rides

The carriages can typically accommodate groups of 4-6, depending on the carriage and the size of the riders.  Carriage rides typically last about ten minutes. 

Have dinner downtown before or after your carriage ride at one of our fantastic restaurants! Do some shopping! Take in a movie or visit some of our wonderful attractions!
