Description

The LOVE Raleigh Festival and Market is a full-day community event held at Moore Square in Downtown Raleigh. This celebration marks the official start of the holiday season while hosting a special Friendsgiving gathering to bring neighbors together.

Attendees can shop from a wide variety of local makers, artisans, and small businesses to jumpstart their holiday gift buying. The schedule includes live music, diverse food and drink options, and family friendly activities throughout the day. A dedicated portion of the programming will feature a formal tribute to honor local military veterans for their service. Visitors can expect a vibrant, high energy atmosphere designed to celebrate the unique character of the city.

This event is open to families, friends, and residents looking to connect with the local community. It serves as a central hub for those who want to support small businesses and enjoy seasonal festivities in a public space. Join us for a day of local spirit and shared gratitude as we welcome the holidays. We look forward to seeing you at Moore Square for this inaugural celebration.
