If you’re looking to soak up this weekend’s warm forecast, skip the treadmill and hit the pavement in one of Raleigh’s most creative zip codes.
The Boylan Arts District Studio Tour returns this Sunday, March 22, 2026, offering a rare “behind the curtain” look at the workspaces of the city’s favorite makers. From 2 to 5 p.m., you can hitch a ride with our besties from The Great Raleigh Trolley (for free!) to navigate the historic, tree-lined streets of Boylan Heights, hopping off to chat with painters, potters, and jewelers in their natural habitats.
This biannual trek, sponsored by local favorites Groovewagon and VAE, is the ultimate way to support the “Keep Raleigh Creative” vibe without spending a dime on admission. Since the trolley is doing the heavy lifting, you can easily pair this with the Tea Festival and make it a full-blown Sunday Funday.
📍 Boylan Heights – We suggest starting at Rebus Works – 301-2 Kinsey St., Raleigh, NC
📅 Sunday, March 22, 2026 | 2–5 p.m.
💰 Free (Don’t forget to support your working artists, though, by buying what moves you!)
