During the summer restaurants and bars will have $5 small plate or drink offerings to introduce locals to the diverse and delicious food and beverages available from our Hillsborough Street District merchants during their normal business hours.

Visitors can stroll several blocks from Meredith College to the NC State blocks and down to the end of the district near Morgan Street.  While checking out either the western, middle, or eastern part of the district, you will encounter many offerings from establishments such as wonderful performance artists in the evenings and you can play our Scavenger Hunt game to potentially win hundreds of Hillsborough Street Dollars to spend with the participating district businesses!


Participating Merchants ($5 special is available during business operating hours):

  • Red Line Beer and Wine
  • Blend Raleigh
  • Rush Bowls
  • Bussin Pizza
  • More merchants coming soon...

Transportation Options:

The Hillsborough Street District is long and linear! If you're ready to get your steps in, we encourage walking between Beryl Road and Morgan Street to visit as many merchants as possible & see all the great performers.

If you're not quite ready for the 3-mile walk, street parking is available throughout the footprint. Some merchants may also have private lots available while you are at their location only.

The GoRaleigh Bus System is a great option if you want to forgo the worries about parking! Check out the map of stops and schedule of pickups here.

And if you want to feel the wind in your hair, we've got Electric Scooter (Spin | Lime | Gotcha) readily available! Just make sure to abide by all rules for riding.
