Revolution Mill Hosts Summer Celebration: Thursday, June 20

Revolution Mill is a mixed-use development in Greensboro that has a little bit of everything – history, culture and modern amenities.

And, for those who want to experience the very latest incarnation of the Mill, they’re invited to come out for a community celebration – “Summer Tide at the Stacks” – on Thursday, June 20, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Set your GPS to 2005 Yanceyville Street if you somehow don’t already know where this famous Greensboro landmark is located.

This celebration will feature live music, local artisan booths, food and a lot of family-friendly activities.

For those who don’t know, June 20 is the first day of summer, and this is a way for Revolution Mill to give area residents a chance to kick the season off in style.

The popular Patrick Rock Band will perform a wide variety of music while those in attendance can shop, play games, mingle and explore booths with items for sale by local artists and artisans. There will also be booths manned by community groups providing information on area programs.

 If you aren’t into art or games, you can get some “snacks around the stacks” by visiting the food trucks: Hot Dog Central and Sunset Slush.

There are, also, of course, indoor dining options as well.  Guests can choose from Kau restaurant (reservations for Kau are suggested), Peace of Her by Lou (which offers paninis, salads and smoothies), or Cugino Forno which will serve up some wood-fired pizza among other goodies.

The highlight of the evening will be the grand opening of Grapes & Grains Speakeasy Tavern. Attendees are invited to celebrate this latest addition to Revolution Mill.

The tavern is said to offer “a unique Old-world European experience with a modern twist.”

Greensboro Farmers Market Temporarily Moving To Revolution Mill

If the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market on Yanceyville Street is part of your Saturday routine, that routine is going to need some adjustment for the first month of the new year.

The Greensboro Farmers Curb Market at 501 Yanceyville St., across the street from the World War Memorial Stadium, is moving for the month of January 2020 to Revolution Mill at 1601 Yanceyville St.

The building at 501 Yanceyville, which has housed the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market since 1963, will have the interior painted and extensive ceiling work done, which is supposed to be finished by the beginning of February when the Farmers Market is scheduled to return to its home.

The work on the ceiling will highlight the curved barrel ceiling by removing layers of paint to reveal the wood lathing, and the massive interior steel beans will painted to bring focus to the expansive ceiling.

The Farmers Market management expects the majority of the vendors to make the move to Revolution Mill. It’s a good time for the move since the winter months are considerably slower at the Farmers Market, but the market at its temporary location will continue to offer fresh seasonal produce, eggs, dairy, seafood, meats, baked goods, crafts and more.

Greensboro Farmers Curb Market Executive Director Lee Mortensen said, “We’re building on the synergy with Revolution Mill created when we partnered in October for A&T Homecoming and we’re looking forward to returning to a refreshed Market building in February.”

During the past four years the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market has had nearly $200,000 in building and grounds improvement including the establishment of a chef demonstration kitchen and cafe, a community education and meeting room, interior and exterior performance states and an audio and video system.

If you find that your car takes you to 501 Yanceyville Street on Saturday mornings out of habit, the temporary location at Revolution Mill at 1601 Yanceyville is only a mile north.
