Yo Greensboro! (jk)
We’re here to connect you with people and places in Greensboro. Every Monday, we bring you things to do for the week ahead.
And soon… we’re going to make it even easier to stay connected.
More on that later. 😉
Scroll time.
Greensboro’s Got It
Highlighting 3 special events this week:
Summer Sunset Series FREE
The city puts on this free event monthly at Lake Brandt during the warmer months for you to enjoy live music, food & beer trucks, games, and lakefront views. Bring a chair/blanket and snap pics at golden hour!
First Saturday Stroll FREE
Not to be confused with the upcoming Elm St closure for pedestrians (starting August 3), this stroll happens monthly on 300 block of Elm St. Local vendors, live music, and activities for the whole family. Even a spelling bee this time!
Riffs for Rescues
It’s a battle of bands this Saturday afternoon all to support our furry friends and the SPCA of the Triad. Great music for a great cause at the Flat Iron in Greensboro. 🐶
Greensboro Grasshoppers
Hoppers (58-37) return home after two weeks on the road, taking on the Bowling Green Hot Rods Tuesday through Sunday at First National.
If you’ve been meaning to catch a game this summer, now is the time. Only 3 more weeks of regular season home games left. Saturday’s game ends with fireworks!

Family Fun Day & Backpack Giveaway (10 AM) FREE - @ Gate City Vineyard
Share with friends, neighbors, and/or queens!
