Every year, we celebrate 919 Day—the one day a year our area code becomes a date! We’re spotlighting local artists with 12 hours of local music on the radio from 9am-9pm, and taking the party outside for a free community event. Join us at The Corner on NC State’s Centennial Campus for live music, local eats, craft beer, and an interactive artisan market. The family-friendly event will fill The Corner with live performances, food trucks, an expanded artisan market and interactive activities. Guests will also experience The Corner’s new pavilion, designed and built by students from the NC State College of Design.

919 Day is an annual community festival celebrating the Raleigh area code with local music, food, and art. Located at The Corner on NC State's Centennial Campus, this evening event is best suited for school-aged children who will enjoy the live performances and interactive maker stations. Admission is free, but you will want to bring card or cash for the food trucks and local vendor market. Parking is available in the nearby campus decks and lots, which are typically free on weekends, but check signage upon arrival. Bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket to claim a spot on the grass near the new outdoor pavilion. It is a easy, low-pressure way to spend a Saturday evening outdoors, grab dinner from a local truck, and support Triangle musicians and makers without leaving the city.

A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
