Downtown Divas return to downtown Greensboro

Divas took to the streets of downtown Greensboro looking for shopping deals, original art and special dining treats.  

Downtown shoppers began their trip to downtown by checking in at the Diva Concierge Desk for a warm welcome, a floppy pink hat, and a free diva feather boa to wear while they shopped. The Concierge Desk was hosted by Genuine Georgia, LLC. Divas were given the opportunity to register for a grand prize of assorted gifts donated by downtown merchants.

In addition to the great spring sales and specials at the shops of Greensboro, Divas strolled and shopped with special guest vendors throughout town. The ladies gathered under striped umbrellas on the Court House lawn with Becky Grant to see what was new with Pampered Chef. Many Divas took advantage of a complimentary massage from therapist Vickie Goss under the tent in front of the courthouse. Unkommon Scents & Natural Body Care assisted Divas as they created their own fragrances under the guidance of Alkalik and Lotoya Jenkins. Quality products included handcrafted shea butter, custom and designer body oils, natural soaps, shower gels and lotions. Jenkins also shared a selection of her “original” Mother’s Day poems and other writings with the Divas. There were several multi-generations of Divas (grandmother, daughter and granddaughter) enjoying the event as well.

All in all it was a fun day in downtown Greensboro for ladies and their families. Downtown Divas is part of the Greensboro Saturdays series which features a downtown event one Saturday of each month through October.  

Next up is a Greensboro favorite — Café Saturday on June 11. The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. till 8 p.m. Greensboro will welcome a guest restaurant to the Court House lawn along with music, shopping, and plenty of excitement for the entire family. Join in the fun as we picnic on the courthouse lawn and play beach bingo with the family.
