Pickin’ In The Plaza is a summer concert series located in City Plaza (on Fayetteville Street) in beautiful downtown Raleigh. Admission is free to the public and the events take place from 5pm to 10:30pm on Thursdays, beginning after Memorial Day and ending before Labor Day.

Pickin’ In The Plaza has partnered with PineCone to feature notable local and regional artists. Come down for a relaxed environment with bluegrass tunes and enjoy local food options, wine and beer. The events will run from 5-10 p.m., with the headliners taking the stage around 8:40 p.m. Food trucks and local brewers will be on-site, and if you’re still up for more fun after the show, head over to Deep South Bar for the official after-party!

Pickin’ In The Plaza does not utilize any taxpayer money and is 100% sponsor driven. The series will drive substantial revenue into the local economy encouraging attendees to visit local shops, bars, and restaurants before and after each event. Given that the series is sponsor driven, we greatly appreciate your support of these companies who are assisting in local economic growth.

Showcasing amazing local products, services, and artists is the foundation for Pickin’ In The Plaza, all the while providing the public with a comfortable and enjoyable free concert setting.
