What's happening this weekend? (Raleigh, Hillsborough: theater, live, mall)

[NC_newcomer]

Looks like it will be a nice weekend after some early rain on Saturday. And for many of you good folks, it's a three day weekend.

So, what's happening in the Triangle?

Diwali: Indian Festival of Lights. Saturday, 11am-8pm. Koka Booth Amphitheater.

What else?

Do people actually get off work for Columbus Day?

Not me.

[NC_newcomer]

Me either, but I've heard rumors that some lucky folks do!

We will be at Diwali. We go every year and just LOVE it. This years headliner should be fun! She's gorgeous and extremely talented! I read they're expecting over 10,000 people there this year!

Going to see An American Carol. It looks like a real fun movie.

There is a charity Kick A Thon at Crabree Mall on Saturday from 1-4pm. There will be martial arts demos every hour.

I think we're going to see "Religulous" Sat night at the Galaxy.

I always had Columbus Day off in RI - not here. No 3 day weekend for me so I'll have to make the most of Sat/Sun!

I'm a federal employee, so I have Columbus Day off!

We are going to the Buddy Walk on Sunday for Down Syndrome awareness. Rachel, Alex, and Leah of Signing Time fame will be there doing a live show, so we are really excited for that as my 2 yo is a big ST fan.
