We’re headed into downtown Raleigh for the live outdoor bluegrass Music on the Porch at Seaboard Station! This is great event for everyone including families. The kids can bring bikes and scooters as the event has a designated child safety zone for those activities. There is a beverage tent offering micro brews as well as wine by the glass or bottle for the adults. Be sure to wear as much Hokie gear as possible so we can easily find you in the crowd. We’ll be reserving space on the grass for our group so bring your folding chair, a picnic dinner, and a side to share with everyone if you wish. Should there be rain the night of the music, this event will be cancelled.
