50 things to do in The NC Triad

50 things to do in NC Triad

I have compiled this list based on my own experiences living in the Triad. I know there are more venues and iconic events that I am missing so please feel free to add them in the comments section. Meanwhile, I think this is a pretty cool list of some really fun and unique things to do in the NC Triad. A few of these are a little outside the area but our geographical location makes them so accessible that I had to include them. This list includes Mocksville, Winston Salem, Kernersville, Lexington, even Stokesdale and the surrounding areas. Enjoy!
