Triangle Events in May

I was looking around to find family-friendly events scheduled in May for the Triangle area. I found a couple of good ones that I want to share. On May 16th and 17th, Artsplosure - The Raleigh Arts Festival will be filling the Raleigh downtown streets with food, art, music, and plenty of people. This is a great event for the whole family. Also on that same weekend, the 8th annual Carolina Kids Expo will be held at the State Fairgrounds. If you have younger children, this is an event you shouldn't miss. I've been to this event every year for the past three years and my children always have a good time. It's also a great opportunity to learn about all the different products and services that are offered around the Triangle.

The Got To Be NC Festival is being held on May 29th and 30th at the State Fairgrounds. I have never attended this event but if you take a look at their webpage (http://www.ncagfest.com/), it looks like a lot of fun. Free parking, free admission, food, rides, and shows. It looks like a mini version of the state fair. Check it out!

The Clear Channel Health & Wellness Expo will be held at the State Fairgrounds on May 30th and 31st. I have attended this event for the past two years and found the information to be educational for adults and children of all ages. I'm guessing that with this event and the Got To Be NC Festival going on during the same weekend in the same location, it would be hard to attend this and skip the carnival - especially if your kids spot the rides.
