Curb Market to Host Watermelon Day

GREENSBORO -- The Greensboro Farmers’ Curb market will host Watermelon Day on Saturday, August 18, from 6 am to 12 noon, to celebrate the peak of the fresh melon season. There will be melon tastings, locally grown farm produce, and a drawing for free watermelons. 

The historic Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market, a facility of the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department, is located near downtown Greensboro across from the old War Memorial Baseball Stadium. Among the items available for purchase are fresh produce, cut flowers, bedding plants, potted flowers, baked goods, and a variety of arts and crafts.  Local produce available includes corn, tomatoes, summer squash, carrots, blueberries, peaches, green beans, cucumbers, and, of course, lots of melons. 

The Market is open year round on Saturdays, 6 am to 12 noon, and on Wednesdays, 7 am to 1 pm, May through December.
