We LOVE your kiddos, but due to the historical nature of the venue, this is a 15+ event. If you are traveling to Raleigh with kids, we'd love for them to join us at the Welcome Party on Saturday night and we would be more than happy to assist in arranging childcare for Sunday night.
We’ve set up three hotel blocks, The Casso, The Longleaf Hotel and the Hampton Inn, for you to choose from. All are a short distance from the venue. Additionally, we compiled a list of great Airbnbs in the downtown Raleigh area. Check out the travel page for more info.
If it sometimes snows in October where you're from, we bet you'll love October in North Carolina! On average, you can expect mid/low 70s and (fingers crossed) lots of sunshine!
Absolutely! We love Raleigh and can’t wait to show you around. To help get your weekend plans started, check out the Guide to Raleigh page for a list of our favorite spots.
