Hopscotch Music Festival is an annual 3-day music festival in downtown Raleigh featuring local, national, and international bands in a variety of genres — rock, hip-hop, metal, dance, punk, alt-country, classical, noise, drone, folk and more. More than 130 acts play in multiple venues within a walkable footprint in downtown Raleigh, with artists performing on an outdoor main stage and in many local clubs.

Contemporary Art Museum Raleigh began in 1983 as the City Gallery of Contemporary Art and was established to complement the city's other museums by focusing solely on contemporary works.

In 2010, Capital Opera Raleigh and the Opera Company merged, forming the North Carolina Opera. Star conductors, art directors and musicians comprise what is now the best of the best version of this organization, and that means that every time the opera is on, you'll see and hear top notch performances.

Instead of the pressure of a big dinner, why not enjoy a couple of choice glasses of wine on a romantic date at the West End Wine Bar?
