Tumbao is a late-night after-party featuring a live vinyl DJ spinning international psychedelic Latin and cumbia orchestra music. What to know before you go: This event takes place at Slim's Dive Bar in downtown Raleigh, starting at 10:30 PM and running until 2:00 AM. Because of the late hour, the venue, and the bar setting, this is strictly an adults-only outing. Admission is free, but you will want to bring money for drinks. Street parking is available along Wilmington Street, or you can use one of the nearby parking decks like the Wilmington Station Deck. If you can coordinate overnight childcare or have grandparents in town, this is a fantastic opportunity to reclaim your Saturday night. It offers a lively, high-energy atmosphere to dance and connect with other local music lovers without breaking the bank on cover charges.
