Below is a quick list of major annual spring events in the Triangle coming up in March, April and May. This list isn’t exhaustive, just a selection of major events that caught my eye. I’ll be adding others as I hear about them so check back each month. If you have any suggestions feel free to leave them in he comment below. I only note two large food truck rodeos but there are many other great food trucks events scheduled. Follow my friend The Wandering Sheppard to stay up to date on the latest food truck news and events. I’ll also be sharing about the upcoming annual outdoor concert series in a separate post in a few weeks. Here’s to warmer weather!

Enjoy these seasonal lists. It’s almost like those calendar refrigerator magnets.
Thanks Art!
Don’t forget Peakfest on May 2.
Rick – Great suggestion! Added the event to the list. Hope to make it this year!
Triangle Explorer – can you add Note in the Pocket’s Sock & Undies 5K Rundie to the list for May 9? Note in the Pocket provides clothing to impoverished and homeless children in Wake County. This will be its 2nd year hosting this 5K. For more information: http://www.noteinthepocket.org. Thanks!
Added! Thank you!
