Pay What You Want Block Party and Pottery Painting at Trophy Brewing

Join us in Knightdale for the fourth annual Creek Week StoryWalk, a delightful community experience hosted at our beautiful Environmental Park. In partnership with the East Wake Regional Library, we have curated an interactive outdoor reading activity designed to engage visitors of all ages. This year, we are proud to feature the charming book A Place for Rain by Michelle Schaub, which highlights the importance of our natural environment through a captivating narrative journey. The display will be available for public enjoyment from March 12 through April 22, 2026. Beyond the story, we invite you to interact with our educational exchange box to learn more about local conservation efforts. This initiative encourages families and nature lovers alike to take a walk, read along at their own pace, and soak in the serene atmosphere of our park. The facility is open daily from dawn until dusk, making it a flexible destination for your schedule. We encourage everyone to visit the park, participate in this unique literary adventure, and celebrate the natural beauty of our community together.

Escape the daily grind and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of William B. Umstead State Park. We invite individuals and families to embark on the Curious Minds Trail Adventure, an exciting exploration of the manmade lakes and scenic hiking trails that define this Piedmont East Science Trail gem. Whether you are searching for elusive marbled salamanders or rare woodland flora like the Jack in the Pulpit, this scavenger hunt offers a unique way to engage with the local ecosystem just minutes from downtown Raleigh. Participating is simple and accessible for all visitors. This digital adventure is hosted through the Actionbound app, which you can download for free on your mobile device.

Gather your friends and family to experience this rustic retreat before the adventure concludes on April 30, 2026. Discover the wonders of nature at your own pace throughout this month long event.
