Festival Stages and Activities
The North Carolina Folk Festival takes place almost entirely outdoors – hosting four performance stages, a family activities area, a participatory music jam space, and a crafts marketplace. There is a single indoor space hosting official festival activities inside the Greensboro Cultural Center. A description of each follows:

• CityStage: Located on a paved parking lot owned by Lincoln Financial Group at the corner of East Market Street and North Davie Street. CityStage will be tented – covering both performance and audience spaces, with lots of room for audiences to spill out into areas outside the covered area. This paved area is slightly sloped – with the highest area closest to Davie Street slightly sloping down to the east where the performance stage is located under the tent. Wheelchairs and other mobility units may access the site near the corner of Davie Street and Market Street – just to the east of the corner sidewalk curb cut along Market Street. Look for the entrance to the CityStage that is marked with signs (and is unobstructed by the small cement barriers built into the lot.)
• Cone Health Stage at LeBauer Park: Located in LeBauer Park at the intersection of North Davie Street and Summit Avenue. LeBauer Park was recently constructed and contains both paved and grassy areas. The Cone Health Stage where festival performances will take place is situated on the flat area of this public park closest to Davie Street – with an audience area that is not covered by a tent. There are many curb cuts and wide access points to LeBauer Park from North Davie Street.
• Lawn Stage: Located on a grassy area owned by Elon University at the corner of Bellemeade Street and Commerce Place. Lawn Stage will be tented – covering both performance and audience spaces, with room for audiences to spill out into areas outside the covered area. The grassy lawn is flat. Wheelchairs and other mobility units may access the site at on the Commerce Place (western) side of the tent. Look for the unobstructed entrance to the Lawn Stage that is marked with signs.
• Old Courthouse Stage: Located on Market Street at the intersection with John Wesley Way (between Eugene and Greene Streets). The Old Courthouse Stage is situated directly on Market Street – a paved street that will be closed to vehicular traffic during the festival to accommodate festival-goers – with an audience area that is not covered by a tent. Wheelchairs and other mobility units may access the site by directly approaching the stage via the paved street.
• Family Activities Area: Located in Government Plaza at the intersection of South Greene Street and West February 1 Place. The Family Activities Area is situated on both paved and grassy areas within Government Plaza. Crafts activities and games will be hosted both in tented and un-tented spaces. Wheelchairs and other mobility units may access the area via sidewalk from Market Street marked by directional signs pointing to the Family Activities Area, OR via Greene Street which will be closed to vehicular traffic during the Festival.
• Center City Jams: Located in Center City Park along Friendly Avenue between Elm Street and Davie Street. Center City Jams will be tented and situated in the grassy Oval Lawn at the Pavilion on Center City Park’s western side along Elm Street. Wheelchairs and other mobility units may access the park from the many curb cuts and sidewalks surrounding the park – and make your way to the Center City Jams tent via paved pathways to the Oval Lawn.
• Dance at the Van Dyke: Located indoors in the Van Dyke Performance Space within the Greensboro Cultural Center at the intersection of Friendly Avenue and Davie Street. Dance at the Van Dyke is situated on the 1st floor of the Greensboro Cultural Center. Wheelchairs and other mobility units may access the Van Dyke by entering the Greensboro Cultural Center from its Davie Street entrance and taking the elevator down one floor; OR via paved pathways marked with directional signs to the Van Dyke from LeBauer Park that will guide folks to the 1st floor entrance to the Cultural Center and Van Dyke Performance Space. Dance activities in the space will take place on the sprung dance floor with additional ground-level space for viewing and additional participation.

Regrettably, the North Carolina Folk Festival is not able to provide transportation services to attendees during the festival.
