According to Town of Mooresville's Facebook page, "World Atlas says, 'Bustling with unique boutiques and restaurants, downtown Mooresville is more lively and active than any other main street.' The recognition pointed out the various events along Main Street annually, such as the Festival of Food Trucks, as well what the Town has to offer outside of Downtown, such as Lake Norman and hiking trails."
