Jazz in the Square is a free outdoor concert series held at Moore Square in downtown Raleigh on select Thursday evenings from late August through early October. Running from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, this event features local jazz musicians, food trucks, and beverage vendors selling beer and wine. To make the evening run smoothly, pack a large picnic blanket or low-backed lawn chairs so you can claim a spot on the grass. While food and drinks are available for purchase, you can also pack your own snacks to keep younger children happy during the performances. Street parking is available around the perimeter of the square, and the Wilmington Street Station parking deck is just a block away for easy access. These Thursday night concerts offer a low-stress way to wind down the week. The open grassy area gives children room to move around while parents sit back, listen to quality music, and skip cooking dinner for the night.
