Greenfield Park Centennial Celebration

The ceremony begins at 11:00 AM with inspiring remarks from the Rotary Club, REV Credit Union, Cape Fear Garden Club members, and City & County Officials. Following these tributes, we will dedicate a time capsule, preserving today’s stories and memories for future generations.

The celebration doesn’t stop there! Families can enjoy a bounce house, community vendors, and local food trucks before heading over to the FREE Centennial Concert at the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater from 2 – 6 PM (gates open at 2 PM).

Come spend the day making memories as we honor the past and look forward to the future of Greenfield Park.
