Summer has arrived! Time to eat peaches, relax by the pool, head to the beach and fire up the grill.
The much-anticipated warm-weather months are also the perfect time to get to know the Triangle area better. Have you been to Jordan Lake? Taken a ride on the Pullen Park carousel? Seen the N.C. Symphony’s open-air performance at Koka Booth Amphitheatre? Caught an outdoor movie at the Apex Historic Depot? You should do all of those things and more.
No matter where you live in this region there are awesome area parks and attractions nearby, not to mention the ample amount of events planned on any given day or night.
