Raleigh Spring Events

Spring in Raleigh is always beautiful. The days creep into the 70s, the humidity hasn’t yet arrived and the days are much longer thanks to daylight saving. Here is a list of some of our favorite things to do in Raleigh in the Spring.

Raleigh St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival: Usually held in mid-March – this year it’s on Saturday, March 16 - this event features a parade through downtown Raleigh, followed by a festival with live music, food vendors, and family-friendly activities.

North Carolina Wine, Cheese and Chocolate Festival: This event on April 20 showcases wines, shopping, music and more in the Lafayette Village on Falls of Neuse Rd. Explore the unique shops at Lafayette Village as you sample wines, cheeses and chocolates throughout this beautiful, locally owned shopping village. You are welcome to bring lawn chairs to enjoy the event.

Moore Square Market: As the weather warms up, the Moore Square Market becomes a vibrant hub of activity. Pick up your local produce and treats, meet up with friends and enjoy live music. The market features vendors selling fresh, seasonal goods as well as original, high-quality crafts. Fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, eggs, dairy, artisanal goods, pastries and much more can all be found at the market. All vendors operate within 90 miles of Raleigh.
