The 5th Annual Strange Fruit Music Festival
April 17, 18, 19, 2026
We are looking forward to celebrating our milestone of five years hosting this festival and introducing the “SOUL STROLL”, which will feature artists throughout Downtown Greensboro! Most of these performances will be accessible with no cover and some will be ticketed. We will be hosting the usual "day in park" on Saturday, April 18th starting at NOON, which will have artists, vendors, and food trucks, as well as feature a special Nina Simone Tribute. We appreciate the support we have received over the years and look forward to creating a memorable experience for Greensboro as we celebrate Black Cultural Music in our wonderful city.
