I'm hosting a few friends over Memorial Day weekend and was wondering if anyone could offer some suggestions on things to do. Any events going on, fireworks, etc? I'm new to the area as well and have only been here 2 months.
We are all in our mid 20's without kids. A beach would be great, but we don't really want to be traveling in the car too much since my guests are already driving down about 6 hours to visit. Any cool places to walk around nearby? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Falls Lake, Lake Jordan, Kerr Lake are the biggies. I am sure that Friday's N&O will have plenty listed in their "What's up?" section.
