About
Raleigh, NC
Halloween Pub Crawls
Raleigh gets the whole Triangle on Halloween: NC State kids, Durham and Chapel Hill transplants, and locals from Cary and Wake Forest. The Raleigh Halloween Bar Crawl works the downtown core with one wristband, a digital map and a lineup that includes North Street Beer Station and Pearl and Peril.
Glenwood South is the area people think of first, with bars and restaurants packed along one corridor, and Fayetteville Street, the Warehouse District and Person Street fill out the rest of downtown. The stops are close enough to walk, and your confirmation lists the order.
Late October in Raleigh is pleasant, with evenings in the 50s or 60s, so most costumes work without a coat. Parking decks downtown fill on a Saturday night, so rideshare or a single garage and a walk is the right plan.
Raleigh’s downtown has grown a lot in the last decade, and Halloween is one of its busiest nights. Expect big group costumes, NC State red and plenty of Carolina pun costumes. Eat barbecue or a plate of Southern food before check-in, since the city’s restaurant scene is strong. The Capital Boulevard and I-40 corridors can back up on a Saturday night, so leave early if you are driving in from Cary or Durham. Check the forecast the day before, since a cold front can change the plan.
