Fall is officially starting on Thursday, Sept. 22, and you know what that means… It’s finally going to cool down enough to get outside and enjoy all the fun events happening around Raleigh—and beyond! This weekend, enjoy a local market at Transfer Co. Food Hall, down a stein at Gizmo Brew Works’ Oktoberfest celebration, try Mandolin’s new cornbread, and more. The fun starts now!

We love brunch a bunch—and we want to know what your go-to brunch spot is! Share your faves with us by Friday, Sep. 30, at 11:59 p.m. ET, for a chance to win a $50 gift card to enjoy brunch at Plates Neighborhood Kitchen on us.
It’s Ladies Night! 💃

Cheers to Oktoberfest! 🍻
Prost! Oktoberfest is back at Gizmo Brew Works’ Raleigh taproom on Saturday, Sept. 17! Done your best lederhosen and celebrate with live music, food trucks, and craft beer.
Shop Local at Transfer Co. Food Hall
The perfect Saturday Funday doesn’t exis-… Roshambo Market is hosting an incredible market experience at Transfer Co. Food Hall on Sept. 17—and you’re not gonna wanna miss it! Come out and shop from 35+ local vendors, jam out to live music, and grab a bite from one of the food hall’s restaurants.
Let’s Get This (Corn)Bread
I’m drooling over Mandolin’s new cornbread (😍!). The best part? A portion of proceeds from each skillet goes to Now Serving, which pairs community-based orgs with restaurants to provide meals to people in need.
This’ll Be Right Up Your Alley… 🎳
Let’s rock and bowl! Wake Forest’s Strike & Barrel is reopening on Sept. 22! The eight-lane bowling center recently underwent a million-dollar renovation and expansion to add an executive kitchen, larger bar, six duckpin bowling lanes, two bocce courts, fowling, snookball, YardPong, table shuffleboard, and arcade games.
Friday Five: It’s a Big Weekend in Downtown Raleigh!
Everyone’s favorite weekend is here! Hopscotch has already kicked off but there are so many parties happening throughout the weekend we just had to share. Plus, summer is over and fall is coming! Enjoy fall festivals and football at some of our favorite spots in Raleigh this weekend.
