I hear there's a big fesitval this weekend in Cary - called Laze Days or something like that.
Does anyone know the hours, and is it on all weekend? How best to get to it coming from Wake Forest? What will parking be like? Can Cary hold all the cars that will (probably) come to it?

Hah! We must have been writing our posts at the same time!
Yes, Lazy Daze is this weekend and parking is hard. I believe there is parking at the Cary mall and you can take a regularly running shuttle bus to the festival or you can try to find a spot in the neighborhoods behind downtown and walk (probably several blocks from where you might get a space)
I would probably take 540 to 40 East and get off on on the Cary exit (can't remember the exit number) but it's after Harrison and is the Cary Towne Blvd. Exit to the right and follow Cary Towne Center Blvd all the way to the mall, which is on the left about a 1/2 mile up the road. It's an easy drive and the festival is really fun. It's a worthwhile way to spend Saturday afternoon.
Just be prepared for huge crowds. It is very difficult if you have a stroller. I would go early. You can usually park on some of the side streets near downtown and walk over.
I went to this festival last year and really thought it wasn't all that great.
If you park at the Cary Mall there is a shuttle that drives people to and from the festival. I recomend using that.
I just found it it be way to crowded. It was very hard to get up to the vendors booths because of the masses of people who rudly swarm around the entry ways to smoke their cigaretts. Plus it was hot.
However, I did find a couple of neat items to purchase, but knowing now what I did not know last year, I will not go. It wasn't that great. Maybe if they find a new place to host it, one with wider streets and a little more room to walk up to the vendors it would be more enjoyable. At least in my opinion.
I am so sad I am going to miss that today. I scheduled an open house, and forgot about Lazy Daze. I have been going for many many years, but get there before 8am to avoid the huge crowds and strollers. Later than noon, forget getting into a booth. If you can get into one, its probably something you don't want anyway. ;-)

Do early, don't wear open shoes because you will be rolled over by all the strollers/wagons/small kids.
It is nice...but getting too packed. We went the first few years we were down here...but not this year.
