We highly recommend attending the Wide Open Bluegrass Music Festival. Located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, musicians, stages, and vendors line Fayetteville street. This is a perfect thing to do on Friday or Saturday, and there will be plenty of FREE jamming for your listening pleasure.
Located right next to the State View Hotel on NCSU's Centennial Campus. Play frisbee golf, or use the greenway and connecting trails to explore the campus.
Perfect for you museum lovers. Check out the Research Center for a more hands-on experience for free!
