About the city
High Point, a city in the state of North Carolina and part of the Piedmont Triad metropolitan area, is internationally known for its furniture and design industry, while also offering a diverse sports, music, and cultural scene. Important event venues include Truist Point, High Point Theatre, and the Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena and Conference Center. Professional sports, concerts, theatre performances, festivals, and other programs give the city a varied character for visitors who want to combine their trip with an event.
Getting around the city is supported by the High Point Transit System (HPTS), with a network of local bus routes, while the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART) connects High Point with other parts of the Piedmont Triad region. The main rail hub is High Point Station (HPT), an Amtrak station in the city center, with connections to local and regional bus transportation available at High Point Depot. For air travel, the most important airport is Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), serving the Greensboro–High Point–Winston-Salem area. This combination of rail, local buses, and regional transportation makes it easier to reach downtown and venues such as Truist Point and High Point Theatre, while a car, taxi, or rideshare may be more practical for locations farther from the center, including the university complex.
Before or after an event, it is worth exploring Downtown High Point, where World's Largest Chest of Drawers, the historic Train Depot, a statue of jazz musician John Coltrane, public art installations, and Congdon Yards can all be found within a relatively compact area. High Point Museum and the neighboring Historical Park provide additional insight into local history, while Oak Hollow Lake and Oak Hollow Festival Park offer a greener and quieter contrast to the city center. The combination of design heritage, historical landmarks, art, and recreational spaces makes it easy to extend a visit for a sporting or music event into a more complete stay in High Point.
