About Visit Goldsboro
Nestled in the heart of eastern NC between Raleigh and the coast, we are a destination with rich culture and heritage. Our heritage has deep military and agricultural roots. And, let’s not forget to mention our legendary BBQ! We sum up ourselves with 3 Ps: pigs, pickles, and planes!
We are the proud home to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, one of the best (and oldest!) fighter communities in the world, Mt. Olive Pickle Company, Cliffs of the Neuse State Park, award-winning historic downtown, NC Pickle Festival, and Wings Over Wayne Air Show (NC’s largest free air show).
Our county is located on the NC Barbecue Society Historic Trail and the Mountains To Sea Trail, which is the perfect blend. Because after you eat the best BBQ of your life and wash it down with sweet tea or craft beer, you’re going to thank us for having a way to burn it all off!
Whether you’re visiting for sports, business, or leisure, in Goldsboro, we strive to provide authentic experiences full of outdoor adventure, unique flavors, history, and genuine hospitality. With exceptional facilities like the Bryan Multi-Sports Complex, one of the top sporting facilities in the country, we specialize in out-of-the-box experiences that help athletes compete at their best. From hosting sponsored Player’s Parties, designing specialized tournament guides, and providing some tailor-made swag-bags for staff and teams, we’re experts in custom-made experiences.
