Upcoming Events Around The Triangle ~ August & September 2015

CMtqSTsWwAI99o9

This is a quick list of some fun events coming up as we round out the month of August and enter September. The list includes several events I’ve either enjoyed in the past or have recently caught my eye.  Also, while I don’t have a specific dates listed below I highly recommend catching a Durham Bulls Game before the regular season comes to a close the first week of September. Not only is the weather perfect for a night at the ballpark, but you still have a chance to catch fireworks after their Friday & Saturday night home games.

Feel free to leave a comment below if you have a suggestion for additional events you think I should include.
