UNC Greensboro brought Spartan pride to downtown Greensboro last weekend as part of the North Carolina Folk Festival. The three-day celebration of creativity and cultural traditions through art, crafts, food, dance, and music featured multiple artists with ties to UNCG.

Spartans returned to the festival for the third year with a new presence, setting up shop in Center City Park, with faculty and staff handing out swag and offering activities, and the opportunity to #SayG with a giant, 15-foot inflatable Spiro mascot.
