Before we begin, I’d like to introduce myself as the newest member of the Raleighwood team, publishers of Raleigh Weekend: I’m Riley! I like long walks on the beach (actually), playing dress-up, drinking a good beer, and painting. 🍻 🎨
I’m excited to share some of what I’ve found to do during my year and a half here in North Carolina, particularly since I read this blog when I first moved here—it’s surreal to be writing for you this week, Raleigh!
I’m ready to do something tonight, I don’t know about you. I feel like going out, meeting some people, and having quite the time. 👋 Feel the same? You might enjoy “a house party” at the House of Art pop-up bar in Downtown Raleigh. Tickets are $10 in advance, $20 at the door.
If you’ve ever caught yourself in downtown Raleigh over the weekend, you’ve definitely seen or heard of the Trolley Pub. Tickets start at $44 a person for individual seats, or you can split the cost of a whole trolley with a group.
Mother’s Day might have been last weekend, but continue celebrating your beer aficionado this Saturday, with the Mother’s Day Edition Brewery Tour of Raleigh Brewing Company at 3 p.m.
Since I’m a part of the Wolfpack myself, it only feels appropriate to howl at the moon during Dogwood Bar & Eatery’s Full Moon Festival on Saturday. The doors open at 12 p.m. and music starts at 2 p.m.
I’m from Florida originally and that comes with a certain appreciation for all things Reggae and Caribbean, and according to my calendar, my Monday mornings are free now that my spring semester classes are over… which means day drinking and some good music on a Sunday, for once!
