Massive Water Slide Makes a Splash in Greensboro

Slide the City brings unforgettable
summer event to 2016

"GREENSBORO, NC – Slide the City is starting their 2016 season strong when they come to Greensboro on Saturday May 21. With over 50 events already scheduled for this year, event organizers are excited to kick-off the season in North Carolina.

“Slide the City is a one-of-a-kind event,” said Slide the City spokeswoman Amy Gessel. “Greensboro is the perfect place to begin our 2016 tour.”

Starting at 9 a.m., adventure-seekers can speed down McGee Street on the massive slide, stretching three football fields, and join the surrounding festivities. The block party includes music, vendors, food, street entertainers and more.

“Slide the City is a full day event,” said Slide the City event director Brad Behle. “We added the block party to give the event more of a community feel.”

A portion of event proceeds will be donated to the synerG young professionals. synerG is actively seeking volunteers to help with the event. Volunteers will serve a event.
