The Second Annual Downtown Greenway Community Picnic will take place from 11 am to 2 pm on Saturday, July 8 along the Downtown Greenway at 501 E. Bragg St. Tickets can be purchased online for $40 for adults and $20 for children 12 and under. Tickets are limited.
Joining the picnic is world-renowned NC pitmaster, Ed Mitchell, who recently published a new cookbook, “Ed Mitchell’s Barbeque,” alongside his son, Ryan Mitchell. Hardcover copies of Mitchell’s book can be purchased online from Scuppernong Books, and they will be offering on-site book sales at the picnic. Greensboro songwriter, Colin Cutler, will provide live music, while local speaker, Ivey Ghee, serves as emcee and conversation partner with the Mitchells.
Whole-hog barbeque will be served fresh off the smoker, along with classic southern sides and desserts provided by downtown Greensboro restaurant, ‘cille & ‘scoe.
This collaborative event, which is part of July’s National Parks and Recreation Month, is made possible by the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department, Greensboro Parks Foundation and Greensboro Bound. All proceeds will support free community programming offered year-round along the Downtown Greenway. The heritage breed hog will be provided by North Carolina A&T State University’s University Farm, a 492-acre working farm featuring active livestock and horticultural production.
