Your Thursday evening just got an upgrade: Jazz in the Square is back, 6–8PM at Moore Square, with Durham’s own Moon Unit taking the stage August 21. Expect smooth live jazz, a Wye Hill food truck, and wine and beer from Raleigh Wine Shop. Bring a blanket, your crew, and an appetite for both snacks and swing.
See the full concert lineup here for other weeks if you can’t make the 21st.
This isn’t sponsored (we’d tell you if it was). We just like when music and food trucks join forces. 🎷 (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
