First Friday
Looking for something fun and relaxing to start off your weekend? Stop by First Friday for refreshments, exhibits, art, live music, and much more. Meet our studio artists. Shop the Art Market.
This is a must-see First Friday for those interested in investing those already owning downtown property, and community members that love the history and future of downtown Goldsboro. In an effort to spur excitement in downtown Goldsboro properties, the DGDC Design Committee has put together a display of 20 renderings of existing buildings. The renderings will not only show realistic facades, but the Design Committee will include all resources needed in order for current and potential owners to implement these ideas.

March 6th 7:30pm
Center Stage Theatre Presents: Cheaper By the Dozen
Based on a true story, Cheaper by the Dozen tells the story of the Gilbreth family. Imagine your father is one of the great pioneers of industrial efficiency. Then suppose he decides, for no apparent reason, to apply his unorthodox methods to you and to the rest of your big family. The results are terribly embarrassing, funny and, it must be admitted, extremely effective! To the oldest daughter, Anne, however, the chief effect seems to be that of making them seem ridiculous to everyone else at school. 919.583.8432. www.GoldsboroParamount.com
