Pop Up Promenade Hits Downtown Greensboro During May and June
GREENSBORO, NC (April 29, 2013) – Greensboro residents looking for something new and different in downtown Greensboro this spring can stop their search. February One Place, between Davie and Greene Street, is hosting a ‘Pop Up Promenade’ from 6-11 pm on Friday and Saturday nights during May and June.
The ‘Pop Up Promenade’ transforms February One Place into a pedestrian showplace complete with street painting, special lighting and greenery, live entertainment, cafe seating and food trucks, and more. The goal of the ‘Pop Up Promenade’ is to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to take a walk downtown to see what it has to offer and recognize how urban spaces can be used in non-traditional ways. The Greensboro City Council gave the ‘Pop Up Promenade’ its support at its April 16 meeting.
