Saturday, May 30, 2026 · Raleigh, NC
A free community cookout is planned from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 207 S. State Street, across from the Former DMV Site. The event includes grilled food, shaved ice, live music, bounce houses, face painting, and activities for children, along with city staff sharing updates on neighborhood projects. It is both a fun summer kickoff and a useful chance to hear directly about what is changing nearby.
