Events in North Wilkesboro today

The Block is celebrating grandparents with a special thank you offer. Grandparents receive 25 percent off park passes and can share the fun with their grandkids. Enjoy trampolines, climbing walls, skating, Goofy Golf, a toddler park, and the arcade, all at a discounted rate created with grandparents in mind.

This songwriter night is part of a series that includes five songwriter nights and one showcase. Participants must register at least one week in advance using a sign-up form. The showcase winner will have the opportunity to perform on The Martha Bassett Show.

The Martha Bassett Show is taped before a live audience at Reeves Theater, a historic venue in downtown Elkin, and brings together the broader roots and Americana scene with the creativity and heritage of North Carolina’s Piedmont. Led by Martha Bassett, a highly regarded North Carolina musician, the program features national guests, new local voices, and songs from Martha herself. Each taping unfolds as a collaborative blend of music and conversation among Martha, her band, and the visiting artists. The performance is captured and streamed live, then crafted into a one-hour broadcast for 88.5 WFDD and other NPR stations, with episodes also available as a podcast.

Every Friday features Toddler Round Up, an active meet-up for young families. Toddlers can play, jump, and explore in an indoor setting while parents connect with other local families, creating a relaxed way to spend the morning before nap time. Special toddler pricing is available, with a 1-hour Jump Park Pass for $4.99 and a 2-hour Jump Park Pass for $7.99.

Jump & Glow Night takes place on the first Friday of each month, when the trampoline room goes dark, the glow lights switch on, neon colors stand out, and the celebration continues until closing. Every visitor receives a free glow stick with a park pass. While there, guests can also enjoy The Block’s 18-hole Goofy Golf course, climbing walls, a roller skating rink, a toddler park, and a large arcade packed with family favorites. It is a lively Friday night option for teens and preteens that is safe, active, and full of energy.

Designed for women navigating any phase of hormonal change, this immersive exercise retreat explores how shifting estrogen levels influence movement, training, recovery, and aging. Led by biomechanist and bestselling author Katy Bowman, the program focuses on partnering with a changing body rather than trying to fix it, building a sustainable practice that supports strength, resilience, and long-term well-being. Participants can expect three days of expert guidance, nourishing meals, and meaningful connection, with logistics handled so it is easy to fully engage. Sessions prioritize a gentle yet effective approach, blending guided exercises with reflection and real-time feedback to clarify range of motion, enhance mobility, and rebuild confidence in what the body can do. Key outcomes include understanding how hormonal transitions affect strength and joints, developing bone-supportive strength without burnout, restoring mobility while protecting joint health, and improving balance and coordination to lower fall risk and cultivate steady confidence. The retreat also weaves in nervous system support to ease stress, encourage better sleep, and bolster emotional health, along with practical ways to adapt everyday movements and workouts to current needs. Expect biomechanics-informed movement tailored to aging muscles, joints, and bones, collaborative planning to design a personalized movement routine that replenishes energy and serves long-term goals, supportive group dialogue that normalizes shared experiences, self-inquiry journaling to anchor insights, and mindful nature walks that refresh alignment. Whether approaching menopause, moving through it, or long past it, attendees leave with tools they can use daily to make movement more aligned, more resilient, and more their own.

A Homecoming community walk at Clark's Creek Greenway offers a pregame before tailgates and day-and-night parties. The CoCoEco Initiative launches the CoCoEco Walking Crew in collaboration with GirlTrek, beginning a Charlotte Greenway Series that links public health, greenspace access, community wellness, and environmental justice. Coffee from Hilltop Coffee is available for the first nine people who attend and comment, and information about learning more and signing up is shared through comments or direct message.

Saturday mornings in Elkin feature the Elkin Farmers Market. The weekly market takes place regardless of weather, and if severe conditions are expected, notices go out in advance. Shop fresh local produce, baked goods, and artisan-made items with live music. Pick up staples or take a leisurely stroll with a coffee, and explore a variety of locally grown and handcrafted products.

A celebration marking Hometown's sixth year brings an evening of fun, live music, and community. The night includes live tunes, food and drinks available, and yard games. Friends, family, and fellow campers can spend time together.

The Madison Lunsford Experience returns to The Bar in Love Valley for another performance, following an enjoyable previous visit.
