The words "Harley Davidson" mean something special to an entire sub-culture, and nowhere is that more obvious than Raleigh, home of the Legends of Harley Drag Racing Museum.

The Burning Coal Theatre Company isn't your usual thespian experience. The actors are not only prepared with their cues and their lines, but they also are quite well-versed in improvisation and playing off of whatever kind of audience for which they are performing. So, for an intimate yet interactive theater experience that you won't ever forget, light a fire to the Burning Coal Theatre!

Paintings, photos, documents and other relics of Raleigh's past are housed in the Raleigh City Museum.

If just riding your bike isn't quite enough for you, let your inner daredevil come to the surface at Capital City BMX. The BMX Track races are organized according to age groups and skill levels to ensure fair but always dramatic competition. The BMX program is sanctioned by the American Bicycle Association. Spectators are admitted for free.
