Events

Join the Village of Clemmons in celebrating kindness the entire month of July. Be on the lookout for Kindness Rocks, Facebook posts with daily ideas to spread kindness and on overall call to celebrate and prioritize being kind to others. You can grab a rock anytime you like outside of Village Hall (3715 Clemmons Road) paint, and then hide yourself, or return to the bucket on the bench and we can hide for you.
