The July edition of Raleigh Foodie Fare is landing at Moore Square on Saturday, July 20 from 11am–3pm—and it's basically a block party for your taste buds. Expect 20+ food trucks, 40+ local artists and makers, drinks, and plenty of ways to wander, snack, and repeat. Local band Burn The Breeze will be setting the vibe with live music while you browse and bite. It’s free to attend, but good luck leaving empty-handed (or on an empty stomach).
This isn’t sponsored (we’d tell you if it was). We just like events that smell delicious and support local folks. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
FYI:
Move this email to your Primary Inbox so you don’t miss the next edition.
