Apex Mayor Appearance
Intro to NeighborUp (formerly Dorcas Ministries and Western Wake Crisis Ministry)
Good Neighbor Day is a free outdoor community festival in Apex designed to bring residents together for live music, local shopping, and neighborhood connection. Hosted at the Sweetwater Town Center Market Square, the afternoon features a performance by the Boys of Summer playing classic hits from the 70s and 80s, an appearance by the Apex mayor, and an introduction to the local community organization NeighborUp. If you are planning to go, bring your own lawn chairs or blankets to set up on the grass. Admission is entirely free, and you can purchase food from the surrounding Sweetwater restaurants or pack your own family picnic. The event is open to all ages, and the open lawn area gives toddlers and young children plenty of space to move around while the music plays. This is an easy, low-stress Sunday afternoon option for families who want to enjoy the autumn weather without spending a lot of money. It offers a relaxed pace where you can support local vendors, let the kids burn off some energy, and head home in time for school-night bedtimes.
No, admission to this community celebration is completely free, though you will want to bring money if you plan to shop from local vendors or eat at the nearby restaurants.
What should I bring with me?
You should bring your own lawn chairs or blankets for seating on the grass, as public seating is limited. You can also bring your own picnic basket and drinks.
