getting here

The Dunleath Neighborhood is near downtown Greensboro bounded by Summit Avenue, Yanceyville Street, and Bessemer Avenue. Click the link above for directions. Wanna take the bus? There are several convenient stops on Summit Avenue and Yanceyville Street within easy walking distance of most performances. Download the Saturday schedule for the Summit Avenue route (Route 6) or the Yanceyville Street route (Route 15). Both routes have frequent stops throughout the day.

Parking

Event parking will be available at Swann Middle School and at the Women’s Resource Center. Guests should please use these areas as

• there is very limited street parking available in the neighborhood during the event,

• additional vehicles in the neighborhood make it difficult for performers and those with mobility issues arriving during the afternoon,

• there is considerable foot traffic on neighborhood streets.

All neighborhood streets remain open throughout the event and are shared by cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. Please use caution when driving, biking, or walking. Drivers are asked to please be patient with foot traffic and bicyclists, and to obey all traffic laws and signage. 

What To Bring

• Bring a chair or a blanket to sit on.

• Leashed dogs are welcome at this event. Please clean up after them as needed.

• The only cash you’ll need is for what you choose to spend on food, event t-shirts, or tipping the performers to show your appreciation of their generosity.

• Bring the kids. They’ll be inspired, and there will be a free instrument-making activity for them.

• If you’d like to see as many performances as possible, it might be a good idea to bring a bike.

• An umbrella will be helpful in the sun or in the event of rain.

• Bring a canned food donation for the Triad Health Project food pantry.
