It’s First Friday!

The First Friday of every month downtown Raleigh art galleries, museums, shops and boutiques and restaurants stay open late and offer free or discounted specials.

Last month we walked around downtown visiting new places and running into friends along the way. We visited our friend Kiona at Knockabout. Listened to Music at City Market. Ate free food from The Oxford at The Raleigh City Museum. It was a fun night for the whole family filled with music, free food and adventure. I’m looking forward to getting out tonight. Especially in this gorgeous weather!
