My family will be in Greensboro beginning next Friday April 22nd through April 26th.
I grew up in Greensboro, but cannot think of anything for my wife and 2 year old son to do while there.
Are there any kind of activities (festivals, etc) going on in the Triad next weekend?

I was just checking out the first link before I posted my question.
I did not see much of interest for the dates I will be there.

The Natural Science Center is a good family activity.

You'll just miss the RiverRun Film Festival and Cirque du Soleil's Alegria...but I'm not really sure what they would be interested in doing.

If nothing special is going on, City Lake Park in Jamestown is a great place to hang out. Lots of great activities for kids, like a boat or mini-train ride, fishing, putt-putt, and more.

I'm sure the farmer's market (linked above in Deacon's post) will have something special going on given that it's Easter weekend. It's a great place for very young kids--full of colors and tastes and people to catch their interest.

My mother already has that planned for our son on one of the days.
I went there so many times when I was a kid it won't be much new for me to see, unless it's changed dramatically recently.

Actually, the BBQ Cook-Off starts today, 4/22, and is also going on tomorrow, 4/23 but this is the very 1st one. From what I've read about it, you will be able to do tasting.
