First Friday Happy Hour with NC Courage at City of Raleigh Museum is a community gathering where visitors can meet professional women's soccer players, take photos, and explore local history exhibits. Held in the historic Briggs Building downtown, this event brings sports fans and families together for a casual evening social. What to Know: Admission is free, though the museum suggests a five-dollar donation to support its programs. The event runs from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, which is a shift from the museum's standard daytime hours. While the museum is open to all ages, school-aged soccer players will get the most out of meeting the athletes. This is a solid Friday night option because it offers a low-pressure way to kick off the weekend. Kids can wear their youth soccer jerseys, meet real pros, and you can squeeze in a quick, educational walk through the exhibits before heading to a nearby downtown spot for dinner.
