Things to Do in Greensboro NC: New Weekend Guide to Local Spots Released

Nov 3, 2026

Vibe Local Press's Greensboro Vibe guide maps a weekend itinerary of Greensboro attractions, covering the Downtown Greenway, farmers market, civil rights museum, downtown parks, and the Science Center, with hours and pricing included.

Center Valley, United States, November 3, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Vibe Local Press has published a weekend guide to things to do in Greensboro NC on its Greensboro Vibe city site. The guide is built around five stops: the Downtown Greenway, the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market, the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, Greensboro's downtown parks and the Greensboro Science Center.

The guide lays the stops out in roughly the order a visitor might string them together over a weekend, with hours and prices taken from each place's own pages and a closing section on planning around tours, weather and parking.

The itinerary opens with the Downtown Greenway, a 4-mile multi-use paved trail encircling downtown Greensboro that tells community stories through public art. The 12-foot path is lit along all sections and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The guide notes that there are no public restrooms along the loop and that its drinking fountains are turned off in the winter months.

On Saturday mornings, the guide points readers to the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market at 501 Yanceyville Street. Founded by the City of Greensboro in 1874, the market is producer-only, so everything is grown, raised, baked, crafted or made by the vendors themselves, all from within 100 miles of Greensboro. It counts more than 100 vendors and about 250,000 visitors a year.

The guide then turns to the International Civil Rights Center & Museum at 134 South Elm Street, home of the restored, original F. W. Woolworth's lunch counter where the Greensboro A&T Four held their sit-in on February 1, 1960. The museum is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and its Signature Staff-Guided Tour is listed at $20 for adults and $15 for K-12 students.

Downtown, LeBauer Park and Center City Park are open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Greensboro Downtown Parks hosts more than 350 free programs and events each year. The final stop is the Greensboro Science Center at 4301 Lawndale Drive, an aquarium, museum and zoo in one place, open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with holiday exceptions. Its SKYWILD treetop adventure and FLYWAY Zipline carry separate tickets, and the zipline opens seasonally.

The guide closes with practical notes: book the museum ahead, since visits run as tours and it is closed on Sundays, and confirm hours and prices on each place's own site before going. The full Greensboro weekend guide is available on Greensboro Vibe.

Philippines tops Southeast Asia workplace ranking with 54 companies

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines has the highest number of companies recognized in Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For in Southeast Asia 2026, with 54 Philippine-certified organizations making the annual list.  Released Tuesday by Fortune and Great Place To Work, the ranking recognizes companies that have demonstrated strong workplace cultures, based on confidential employee survey responses and assessments of workplace practices.  The 2026 list drew feedback from 1,322,537 employees across 10 Southeast Asian countries, with Philippine companies accounting for more than half of the 100 organizations recognized.  Leading the Philippine entries is Golden Arches Development Corp., the operator of McDonald’s Philippines, which debuted at No. 7, making it the highest-ranked new entrant. Balibago Waterworks System followed at No. 19, while Megaworld Corp. placed No. 22, moving up significantly from its No. 90 ranking last year.  Other Philippine-headquartered companies recognized include Arcanys at No. 34, D&V Philippines at No. 56, Outsourced Quality Assured Services at No. 66, Universal Robina Corp. at No. 82, GoTeam at No. 83 and Altius Inspiro at No. 96.  The ranking also features international companies operating in the region, including Cisco at No. 4, Synchrony at No. 41 and Atlassian at No. 100.  Charles Plumley, general manager of Great Place To Work Philippines, said the results reflect how companies that invest in their employees can build stronger workplace cultures and improve business performance.  “Global companies have long come to the Philippines for its people, but this year’s Fortune list illustrates what happens when employers invest in building high-performance workplace cultures,” Plumley said.  He noted that 27 companies on the list earned certification exclusively in the Philippines, underscoring the contribution of local teams to the recognition.  “Golden Arches’ debut at No. 7 brings that story to the frontline, where scaling a strong culture across restaurant teams is critical to delivering a consistent customer experience and business results,” he added. “Building great workplaces helps businesses compete on quality and productivity while creating more rewarding careers for Filipinos.”  The recognition highlights companies with different business backgrounds and histories. Golden Arches opened the Philippines' first McDonald's restaurant on Morayta Street in Manila in 1981 and now operates around 800 restaurants nationwide.  Balibago Waterworks, meanwhile, traces its beginnings to 1958 as a local water provider in Angeles City, Pampanga. It has since expanded to more than 90 municipal franchises across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.  Megaworld, the developer behind major townships such as Eastwood City, Uptown Bonifacio and McKinley Hill, recorded one of the biggest improvements among Philippine companies, climbing 68 places from its previous ranking.  Now in its second year, the Southeast Asia edition builds on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For ranking, which has relied on Great Place To Work’s workplace research in the United States since 1998.  The complete 2026 ranking is available at greatplacetowork.com.ph/best-workplaces/sea/fortune.
