Some of the tasting lines were slow moving. But with so many vendors it didn't slow down my tastings. I have to admit that I only visited half of the stands because once I found a couple of bottles that I liked, I was done. I purchased a few bottles, stretched out my folding chair near the stage and enjoyed a beautiful day out. I purchased four bottles and left with one :) The entertainment was very enjoyable; the SB Band really kept the crowd hyped! The down side was the food situation. Porterhouse was there and they never disappoint. But with only 2 trucks, 3 if you count the pizza slice trailer, the wait was ridiculous AND outside food was not an option :( I expect better next year, I can't wait.

This was a great event! My friend and I had a blast!…read more The parking was a little rough. We had to park in the grass, and unfortunately when we tried to leave, the entrance to that parking spot was blocked off so we had to drive very carefully off the median onto the road. They do have carts that will transport you to and from your car, but we decided to walk. The line seemed extremely long when we first got there, but we got in pretty quickly. Make sure you bring your ID's because they do check before you enter. They give you a complementary wine glass, along with a brochure listing all of the wineries in attendance, which was nice. There are a lot of wineries, but I expected to see more than were there. We skipped a few because they had just typical wines. I'm not usually a big wine drinker, but after spending the day tasting different kinds, a few have definitely won me over! If you ever go in the future, be sure to stop at Southern Charm Winery's tent (if they're there). I literally loved every single wine they had to offer. My favorite was the Edisto Black. It is amazing! I'd have to say they are officially my favorite winery. Shadow Springs Vineyards has a very good strawberry wine. The lines were a little long, but that was to be expected. The band was great! I also loved the location, being it is in the same parking lot as one of my favorite restaurants (Moose Cafe). Be sure to stop there on your way out!

This was my first time going to the Greek Festival and the only thing I'm so upset about is why…read morehaven't I been before!! The Greek festival took place at the Greek church in Winston they had a variety of foods and activities all throughout the area! I got the Greek pizza, Loukoumades, spanikopita and potato wedges! The place was pretty packed as today was opening day. Parking is all the way down right by the church just follow the signs. I will say I got lucky with mine and there's a couple parking spots before you really start getting towards the church. Under the tent area is where you can find the entrees, and in the gymnasium area it's the lunch specials and Greek pastries and some dessert options too.

The lines for food appeared long but moved quickly. Gyros were superior to those served at the Greensboro Greek Fest. The market had so many gorgeous products and fantastic foods, including a buffet of flavored olives oils. I am deaf and the speaker volume was too intense even for me, but I'm sure they were trying to compensate for crowd noise. It was a miserable hit and humid day but the cold Greek beers and baklava ice cream kept us going to enjoy the festivities.

What a wonderful festival hosted here in Greensboro. For 2025, I enjoyed it as a listener and…read morevolunteer. It is certainly worth going to all weekend if able. It's a free festival featuring a very walkable downtown Greensboro. During the event, the whole place felt like a massive city. All sorts of food can be found, and the festival tents sell drinks as well. However, more options can be found at all the participating establishments and local breweries. The music of course was amazing. With 6 major stages, and a few other smaller spots, a listener is bound to find what they like. Music was a 5/5 and the vibes too!

The food is everywhere and as exotic as you might expect from a fair (fried Oreo's, anyone?), but is high priced. Can you go to a fair and NOT get a funnel cake? They're $15, but it's once a year... They have a good selection of rides though the lines were long on Friday night and I would expect they would be even worse over the weekend. Parking is $10 at the Wake Forest Coliseum (a short walk), which is safer than parking in someone's yard (for the same price). It's $10 per person to enter, if you order online, and then you'll spend $20 every 4 rides (roughly). It can add up quickly, but so can the level of enjoyment.

It was a breezy day and the sites gave me such a nostalgic feeling of old timey trips to the fair when I was young.

What makes a barbecue"festival", well in my opinion it would be a celebration of what the festival…read moreis named for which is barbecue. I was severely disappointed since there was essentially one barbecue served here at the festival. There were two or three tents set up among the hundreds of others. They had two barbecue items, a barbecue sandwich with chopped pork meat served with a slaw supposedly on it, since I could not tell and a barbecue hot dog. There was no variety in types of barbecue so I cannot see how this is a "festival" of barbecue. There was as I said other vendors there similar to the recent fair with overpriced turkey legs and funnel cakes. NO OTHER BARBECUE...?!?! i was disappointed and dismayed to the point of this being my first and last time I will go to the Lexington barbecue festival as it was not what it was hyped to be.

This is for the 2018, 6th annual Burke Street Food Truck Festival…read more Weather sucked but can't put that on the organizers. 70 plus food trucks was the estimate. They stretched from the Burke intersection of 1st Street all the way to 4th Street and Broad. Nice variety of food to choose from. Local craft beer was also available. A lot of the shops on or directly off Burke and 4th were open for business as well, taking advantage of the crowds. Many of the bars on Burke Street were open and offering drink specials. Live music at both ends. I enjoyed the crap out of it despite the weather. Highly recommend and look forward to next year's festival.

The best thing was that because of the rain the lines were not as long as past years! The fact that all proceeds went to H.O.P.E. Of Winston Salem was icing on the cake. I finally got to try Cousins Lobster and I was not disappointed, both styles (hot & cold) of Lobster rolls were amazing, succulent lobster meat that felt fresh from Maine! I also tried the Peruvian wings & ribs and the spices on it were perfect! Can't wait till next year!

It's not a big festival for sure but it is worth the time and effort. You had the vendor who sold Apple cider syrup that was slap yo mama delicious, I just want to smother it all over biscuits or pancakes. You could see PIG RACES so that made my day. And there was great festival food options to choose from like the good ole roasted corn on cob, funnel cake, candy apples, chocolate, bbq, and of course, apples and apples and more apples. Plus there were other vendors that sold candles and jewelry. You can bring your dog too. Great parking and tree lined street. It is worth putting it on your calendar for next year. I know I'll be back. And it's freeeeeeee!

Tomato SZN in full effect! There's never a bad time for a stroll through the Triad Farmers Market,…read morebut the heat of summer is going to treat you to a bevy of vegetables like you would not believe. You'll find the freshest picked everything, from cucumbers to tomatoes and all points between. The market is fully covered, providing some much needed shade, and there are some permanent vendors that have an indoor facility such as an ice cream parlor, candy and fudge, general store, etc. There are full bathroom facilities on site, and even a restaurant called the Moose Cafe at the back which served southern favorites. Of course, what is offered depends on the season. You'll find a bounty of selections starting in late spring, through the summer, and into the fall. In the winter, produce starts to become more sparse, but there is no shortage of places to buy your Christmas tree if you celebrate with one of those. Best advice is to bring cash, but many vendors can take a card these days. You may get charged a little extra for using plastic in some spots though, and to help with these folks margins, cash is preferable.
