As far as downtown restaurants. The Undercurrent is outstanding. There is a relatively new place called Neighbor's behind Joymongers that I want to check out.

Did you go see George Clinton? I did. I got my funk on and scared my young neighbors. It was so great I had to lie on the heating pad the next day.

I did. I was actually at the base of the stage and lets just say I lost half of my hearing for about two days!

No, I went on Friday evening/night. Hopefully weather will be better this year.

RE: Parking. If anything, Greensboro has an over abundance of downtown parking, although a recent survey indicated that its signage needs improvement to help you locate it.

Go to Google Maps and plug in Greensboro Downtown Parking, and you will be offered many options. The official address for the festival is 200 N Davie St, Greensboro, NC, United States, 27401, which is Center City Park, bounded on the south by West Friendly Avenue, and on the west by Elm Street (the Main Street in downtown GSO).

P.S. Funny, the festival website only shows the 200 N Davie Street address, not the stage locations.

Yeah there were periods of heavy rain last year. The first time it had every rained during the Folk Festival. There was a brief drizzle the first year the National Folk Festival was held downtown.
