“Arrive twenty minutes early to grab food before the music starts.”
Songstories Live at Boxyard RTP is a casual outdoor concert featuring three local singer-songwriters performing original music and sharing the personal stories behind their lyrics. This free event takes place under the covered pavilion, making it easy to navigate with a stroller or active toddlers. You do not need tickets, and parking is free in the main development lot. Because Boxyard is constructed from shipping containers and features multiple food and drink vendors, you can easily grab dinner or snacks during the performances without missing the music. It is an ideal Saturday evening outing because the early start time allows you to enjoy live music and get the kids fed before bedtime. The spacious layout gives children room to move around while parents sit back and listen to some of the area's best musicians.
