Today is the Summer Solstice Festival in Greensboro. The hours are from 2:00- 10:00 pm and the cost to enter is $10. This helps pay performers, set up and break down costs, pay for trash removal, and all of the other details that go into having a great festival. The above photo of Body Paint Artist Madelyn Greco was taken at the 2024 Summer Solstice event. You will see people and performers that will afford you the opportunity to take plenty of photos as colorful as this one. You will enjoy the festival even more if you dress up yourself.
The larger-than-life Paperhand Puppet Project will be there. You may have the opportunity to help with the puppets during the parade. Some great musicians are scheduled to perform at Solstice. Martha Bassett will kick off the performances with her Americana sound. Next up is the Sahara Reggae Band; and then, Too Phat Brass Band; the R&B group, Cynamon and the Spice Rack; and, finally, Cory Luetjen & The Traveling Blues Band- and that is only the bands on ONE stage. If you do attend, remember dogs are not allowed. You might want to bring a blanket or a portable, folding lawn chair. Finally, part of what makes the festival great is having a positive attitude, being nice, and talking to people.
We sure hope you will go and support this fabulous community opportunity and remember to thank Susan Sassmann if you see her.
Happy Saturday. It is now officially summer!
