Thousands of people from around the
Triangle will gather to celebrate America with local brew, great eats,
contests, music and fireworks. Join in on the fun at City Plaza and Fayetteville Street; the party

If music isn't the highlight of your
life like it is ours, no worries, there are plenty of other things to keep you
entertained. Let's talk food. Several food trucks will be on hand,
ready to serve up delicious treats from sweet, to exotic, to good
ol' American. Raleigh's favorite spots such as The Oxford, Busy Bee, and Raleigh
Times will also be serving food, tailgating games, and live music.
If it's competition that you crave,
downtown Raleigh has you covered. Show your talents in any of the
food-eating contests; choose from watermelon seed spitting, ice cream eating
from Lumpy's, and the hotdog challenge. Also, see performances by Gouge
wrestlers and King's BMX bike stunt performers.
Fireworks will be presented in two
different locations: Red Hat Amphitheater will have a 9:30 display as
well as the south end of Fayetteville Street in front of the Progress Energy
Center for the Performing Arts.
Just like the beer and wine provided
in the beverage tent, the festivities flow endlessly. Check out the full
list of events and map here.
