Happy Sunday! The sun is shining and we are feeling great! So, we've made the perfect feel-good playlist to match your Sunday mood! This playlist features a variety of musical genres from our GDPI program partners and local musicians that are happy, fun, and upbeat. Take a listen to this playlist filled with love songs to get in the Valentine's Day spirit! Turn on this playlist for some happy beats and tunes to groove to on this sunny Sunday!
In 2020, our Programs Department was forced to cancel over 50 FREE concerts due to the public health crisis surrounding Covid-19, along with the cancellation of the other 400+ programs we had planned for the community this year. We are hopeful that in Spring 2021, Greensboro Downtown Parks will be able to return to in-person programming. In the meantime, we're bringing you this new blog series - Park Arts Playlists - a new playlist every week, featuring music from artists that either have performed at the downtown parks before or who would have performed this year.
