Summer Magic Across the Triad: Free Events June 12–19

Here in the Piedmont Triad, summer isn’t just a season - it’s a whole vibe.

And this week? The vibe is on. From Friday night concerts to yoga in the park, artisan markets, food trucks, and Juneteenth celebrations full of music and meaning there’s no shortage of ways to get outside, try something new, and connect with the amazing community around you. Best of all? So much of it is free.

Whether you're a dance-under-the-stars kind of person or more of a picnic-on-the-green family, there's something in this list just for you.
