Posted on June 14, 2019June 14, 2019

The big weekend Explore Raleigh has been planning for and anticipating is finally here!! Tube the Neuse V is happening this Saturday. We currently have over 800 RSVP’s and thousands more still deciding. The weather looks GREAT and appears to be in the low to mid 80’s with some clouds. We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend for this tubing trip to happen. Below you’ll see a couple more events we recommend as well as how to join Explore Raleigh and how to make recommendations for next weekend!

The Main Event:

Tube the Neuse V

This may be the biggest event we’ve ever done and we’re very happy to see so many people excited to get outside meet new people and have a great time drifting down the Neuse River. As mentioned above the weather looks GREAT and we couldn’t ask for anything more. So prepare for a lot of fun with a lot of people!

Sunday Jun 16th:

Durham Food Truck Rodeo

We don’t usually recommend events in Durham, but their Food Truck Rodeo is actually fun and a good experience for the entire family!

A Durham Central Park Food Truck Rodeo is an all-ages Sunday afternoon gathering of dozens of the Triangle’s most popular food trucks, five times each year. The event is free to attend. You simply pay for what you decide to eat from the trucks’ menus–from savory and stick-to-your-ribs to sweet treats.

Bringing together an all-star lineup of funkateers from some of North Carolina’s greatest funk bands both past and present, this supergroup is sure to represent! Combining a boisterously blissful fusion of funk, soul, jazz, blues, and rock and roll, The Up and Up unique sound and catchy melodies will be good to your ears! With inspiration from such acts as Parliament Funkadelic, Lettuce, The Meters, Prince, Victor Wooten, The Allman Brothers Band, Curtis Mayfield, the band begins a powerful musical performance with a truly unique and amazing display of
showmanship making every audience feel like they are part of the show, part of the band and part of the family– at every concert
