That’s a wrap on the 2026 Ranlo Fall Festival! 🍂

For two days, Ranlo Park was filled with families, friends, and neighbors enjoying some fall fun together.

Kids ran between inflatables, carnival rides and games, tossed footballs around the field, stopped for face painting and henna, and even tried their hand at juggling. Grown-ups had plenty to enjoy too, from good food and fresh lemonade to local vendors, live music from Kings Highway, and time to catch up with familiar faces.

Throughout the weekend, it was great to see families enjoying the park, neighbors stopping to talk, and our community coming together for another Ranlo tradition.

A special thank you to the Ranlo Experience Committee for helping bring the festival to life, our Town Commissioners who joined us, our vendors and entertainers, and everyone who came out to spend part of their weekend with us.

Thank you for another great Fall Festival, Ranlo! We can’t wait to do it again. 💙🍂

Gaston County's next countywide property reappraisal is scheduled for 2027, and we know residents may have questions about what a new property value could mean for their tax bill.

That's why we're inviting you to join Gaston County at the Town’s October Meeting of the Board of Commissioners on October 8 at 7 PM at the Ranlo Lodge for a public presentation from the Gaston County Tax Office.

This is an opportunity to learn more about how the County reappraisal process works, understand the difference between your property value, Gaston County tax rate, and Town of Ranlo municipal tax rate, and ask questions directly following the presentation.

We welcome homeowners with questions or anyone who wants to better understand the process before new values take effect.

📅 October 8 | 7 PM

📍 Ranlo Lodge, 2000 Spencer Mountain Rd.

Learn more about the 2027 reappraisal at WeValueGaston2027.com.
