The Three Seasons Vendor Market isn’t just another shopping event—it’s a hyper-local treasure hunt where small businesses, good vibes, and a great cause collide. Every other Saturday, this family-run market transforms 9500 Forum Drive into a buzzing hub of artisans, foodies, and entrepreneurs. But this weekend, there’s an even bigger reason to drop by: proceeds will support the United Cajun Navy WNC Fundraiser.
Expect handmade goods, tasty treats, and live entertainment—plus the warm fuzzies of knowing your dollars are doing good. Shopping for a cause? Sign us up. Plus, check out some exclusive Raleigh.com deals from local vendors below—just show this email to save big and score some freebies!

Raleigh Hidden Gem:
Oh man, if you haven’t been to Alamo Drafthouse in Raleigh yet, you’re missing out. It’s not just a movie theater—it’s an experience. They’ve got a killer selection of indie, classic, and first-run films, plus a strict no-talking, no-texting policy (which is a dream if you actually want to watch the movie). The food is legit good—not your typical theater nachos—and they’ll bring it right to your seat. And the themed movie nights? So much fun. It still feels like a bit of a hidden gem, even though it totally deserves the hype.
