<p>Carowinds is set to debut an all-new event for the 2022 season, the State Line Celebration. The limited time event will run April 9 through May 8 and celebrate all things North and South Carolina. As guests to Carowinds may know, as you enter the park, you walk along the North and South Carolina border. The all-new extravaganza proves there is no place finer than being in the Carolinas with authentic cuisine, local brews and musicians that can only be experienced in the Tar Heel and Palmetto states.</p>
<p>The new State Line Celebration sounds similar in scale to the <a href="https://cpfoodblog.com/2018-carowinds-great-carolina-fest/">2018 Great Carolina Fest</a> and <a href="https://cpfoodblog.com/2017-carowinds-taste-carolinas/">2017 Taste of the Carolinas</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/220409-Carowinds-State-Line-Celebration-Sign-2-©BS.jpg"><img src="https://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/220409-Carowinds-State-Line-Celebration-Sign-2-©BS.jpg" alt="220409 Carowinds State Line Celebration Sign 2 ©BS" width="768" height="777" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23189" /></a></p>
<p>The State Line Celebration is located on the state line, which runs down the middle of the park, and will have six Carolina tasting tents (three for each South Carolina and North Carolina) with tastings available for guests to enjoy on the State Line Farm Table. With a State Line Celebration Tasting Card, with the option available to sample either six or nine tastes, guests can sample authentic food, including barbecue, inspired by regions throughout the Carolinas. Carowinds has partnered with breweries and wineries from around the Carolinas, and the State Line Celebration will feature craft beer from more than 20 breweries.</p>
<p>Guests can purchase tasting cards to sample a selection of the menu items. Pricing is as follows.</p>
<p>6 Tastings: $39.99<br />
9 Tastings: $59.99</p>
<p>At this time it does not appear there is a season pass discount, nor are any of the items available with the dining plan.</p>
<p>Menu items are also available for purchase a la carte as noted below.</p>
