Raleigh Wide Open - Book Events is a free community gathering at the City of Raleigh Museum featuring four authors discussing regional music history. What to Know: The event takes place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. You do not need to purchase tickets, as admission is free. The schedule features four distinct thirty-minute sessions, starting with David Menconi at 2:00 p.m., followed by Alice Gerrard at 2:30 p.m., Phil Jamison at 3:00 p.m., and Eddie Huffman concluding the afternoon at 3:30 p.m. This is a smart addition to your weekend plans if you want to introduce your older kids to local history and literature.
