Greensboro Grooves – June 1st, recurring every Wednesday

Every Wednesday, you can swing by PB Java on S. Elm Street from 8:00 – 10:00 pm to hear a different “Artist in Residence” debut their new, fresh music! Following the main artist, slots are open for other local musicians to present their new music and even jam with each other. Get out there every Wednesday to stay in the loop with the always-growing Greensboro music scene. PB Java is also re-opening after two months of renovating their sandwich and coffee shop to accommodate events like the Greensboro Grooves.

Barks & Brews 2016 – June 3rd, recurring every Friday through September

Starting at 5:00 pm every Friday through September, Natty Greene’s is partnering up with the Humane Society of the Piedmont to host a “pop-up” dog park! They have an enclosed area you can play with your pup, you can donate dog or cat food for the chance to win a prize, or you can just come by to enjoy a drink and other people’s dogs. They will also hold a Corn Hole tournament and the winner gets half the pot (the other half is donated to the Humane Society of the Piedmont! Also, enjoy their special for the night: a hotdog, a side, and a beer for only $10, with the proceeds benefiting the Humane Society. You can’t beat a good deal that also benefits furry, four-legged creatures!

The City Market is an open air market in the south end of Downtown Greensboro at The Railyard on Barnhardt Street.

Greensboro Summer Solstice Celebration, June 18th, 2:00 – 10:00 pm

Since 2005, Greensboro has hosted a Summer Solstice Celebration started by a group of Greensboro creatives.

You’ll find delicious food trucks and plenty of handmade and handpicked vintage antiques and other goods at the market, as well as live music, an auction, pie eating, and more!
