Raleigh Wide Open presented by PNC Bank is taking over downtown this weekend with stages on every corner. Produced by PineCone, this festival brings Raleigh to life with free outdoor music—from bluegrass and Americana to gospel, folk, and R&B—plus local art, food, drinks, and family-friendly fun.
Want even more? Head to Red Hat Amphitheater for ticketed shows like Greensky Bluegrass and JJ Grey & Mofro.
