Greensboro celebrates Southland Jubilee

Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day in downtown Greensboro. Perfect for, well, everything. Walking the family dog, showing off your classic car, eating snow cones and funnel cakes for lunch, or just sitting in the shade watching the world go by.

The annual Greensboro Southland Jubilee had all of that and more.

If you like classic cars, there were 100 lined up for three blocks on both sides of South Main Street for a show by the Georgia Classic Cruisers. Even if old cars weren’t your thing, the variety of shapes, colors, and quirks provided fun entertainment.

Some 75 vendors lined up on North Main and its side streets offering all sorts of food, tasty desserts, and handmade arts and crafts as well as many downtown merchants who opened their doors with discounts.

Around the corner, the Children’s Area was bigger and better than in previous years with extra exciting bouncy houses and all types of rides. A dad and daughter were spinning on one, challenging each other to see who could make it go faster. Not far away, a girl was trying to stand up inside a huge, inflated plastic bubble floating and twirling on water.

For more than 25 years, people from all around have come to downtown Greensboro with family and friends to enjoy the Southland Jubilee. 

This year was no exception.
