In Goldsboro, locals know that pickles, planes, and barbeque are a pretty big deal. If you don't like one of the three, you might be in the wrong town. Kidding—mostly. Goldsboro's as big on southern hospitality as it is on fighter jets and good food, so if you're still getting over your childhood disdain for pickles, you've got time to challenge your tastebuds. Nearby Mt. Olive Pickle Company and the annual North Carolina Pickle Festival will both help you do just that.

And since you can't subsist on pickles alone, local favorites like Adam's Roadside BBQ, Scott's Sauce Co., and Wilber's will take good care of you when you need more than vegetables in your stomach. A full plate at any one of Goldsboro's BBQ restaurants is the perfect end to a day spent running, fishing, or swimming at Cliffs of the Neuse, or after taking the kids to enjoy the mini train and playground at Herman Park.

Craft breweries, the annual Wings Over Wayne Air Show, and Goldsboro's own NC Poultry Fest will all promise to keep you and your family active and engaged in your community.
