Where to Find Upcoming AA Events in North Carolina
Updated
Upcoming AA events in North Carolina are listed on aanorthcarolina.org, the site for Alcoholics Anonymous Area 51 (AANC). The homepage's "Upcoming Events" section shows each event's name, date, time, and street address, with a "More Events" link for the full calendar. If you want updates without checking back, the site also offers a mailing list signup.
What the Site Lists
The AANC homepage surfaces events directly under the heading "Upcoming Events." Each entry follows the same format:
- Event name — for example, "Spring Into Action Conference" or "Freedom From Bondage 38"
- Date and time — start and end dates with specific hours
- Location — a street address with city and state
Two examples from the page:
| Event | Dates | Time | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring Into Action Conference | 02-06-2027 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM | 3007 Beechtree Drive, Sanford NC 27330 |
| Freedom From Bondage 38 | 03-12-2027 – 03-14-2027 | 7:45 PM – 11:30 AM | 200 Columbus Dr, Aberdeen NC, 28315 |
A "More Events" link below the listings leads to the fuller events calendar, which is where you'd look for anything not shown on the homepage.
How to Check for Events
- Go to aanorthcarolina.org.
- Scroll to the Upcoming Events section on the homepage.
- Read the event name, date, time, and address for each listing.
- Select More Events to see the complete calendar beyond the homepage preview.
The page does not state how far ahead events are posted or how often the calendar is updated, so treat the listed dates as the current published information and confirm details through the event listing before traveling.
Getting Updates by Email
Below the events area, the site includes a mailing list signup with a "Join our mailing list" prompt. Subscribing is the way to receive event announcements without revisiting the page. The page shows an empty field with a "Please leave this field empty" note — a standard spam-prevention hint — but does not describe how frequently emails are sent.
If You're Looking for a Meeting Instead of an Event
Events and meetings are different things on this site. The homepage has a separate Find a Meeting link for regular AA meetings, while Upcoming Events covers conferences and similar gatherings. If your goal is a weekly meeting rather than a one-time event, use the meeting finder.

Practical Notes
- Event addresses are given as street addresses, so you can map them directly.
- The two events shown on the homepage fall in 2027, which suggests the calendar may list events well in advance — check "More Events" for nearer-term listings.
- The site does not publish pricing or registration details for these events on the homepage; check the individual event listing or contact the relevant helpline for that information.
