Greensboro NC Events

Welcome to Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad Region of North Carolina. By the way, the grass really is greener here because we enjoy a robust quality of life, perfectly balanced climate, and ample opportunities to balance business with pleasure. Situated in the middle of the North Carolina urban crescent and equal distance from the mountains and the coast, Greensboro residents enjoy a variety of recreational opportunities. Living at the crossroads of I-85 and I-40 also affords residents easy access to the region, state, and entire east coast.

Culture, nightlife, and opportunities for fine dining are also numerous in the Gate City. Try one of the First Fridays events for a gallery and culture crawl. Explore Downtown art galleries and studios, retail shops, and alternative arts venues and see the creative side of Greensboro. We take food seriously here as well with original, upscale eateries like the Undercurrent, Liberty Oak, and Printworks Bistro as well as casual, easy restaurants like the Mellow Mushroom or Stamey?s Barbecue (this is the south afterall).

Greensboro, NC, is a place where the grass really is greener. With over 80 miles of trails in both natural and urban settings, 170 parks and gardens over 3,500 acres, and 27 golf clubs and courses, Greensboro offers ample opportunities to soak in the natural world.

The bottom line is that Greensboro is eclectic and fun. Having colleges around every corner keeps us young too. Come for a visit and experience the richness of life in Greensboro.

Greensboro is a unique community. It has been called the college town you can live in forever and with six colleges and universities in the city limits and an excellent law school, Greensboro lives up to that moniker. We are a city that is committed to improving the quality of life our residents enjoy. The new Center City Park, NewBridge Bank Baseball Park, and plans for a 4.8-mile Downtown Greenway are evidence enough that we believe in our city.

Greensboro is also a community that moves forward through strategic partnerships ? between industry and education, between the arts and the local governments, between foundations and non-profits and between entrepreneurs and community leaders. Action Greensboro is an example of an excellent collaboration in the city. Underwritten by eight local foundations, Action Greensboro was formed in 2001 in response to the changing nature of our economy. Action Greensboro works to keep the Center City the vibrant center of Greensboro, to strengthen public education and connections to our higher education assets, and to attract and retain young professionals.

Greensboro is a community that you can get immersed in through volunteer opportunities on nonprofit or governmental boards and commissions, through excellent arts events available in area theatres and through our colleges and universities, volunteering in the school system or even through getting acquainted with Greensboro?s history dating back to the revolutionary war. The Greensboro Chamber of Commerce offers several ways to learn more about the community through our 6-week orientation program called Experience Greensboro and through a customized leadership development and community orientation program called Leadership Greensboro.
