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!

Under the guidance of Governor Roy Cooper’s Phase 3 reopening plan, Goldsboro-Wayne County is reopening its doors to welcome back customers and guests to its businesses, attractions, and events. As you will see below, our events calendar is back online to encourage you to enjoy Goldsboro-Wayne County once again starting this summer. However excited we are to socialize with you again over a plate of legendary BBQ, we are just as eager to continue practicing social distancing and all recommended state and national health measures. Your protection is our priority.
