Your 30-Day Short Term Fully Furnished Rental Option

Here at Revisn, we want to provide you with all the information you need for the Raleigh area! Every month, we will be sharing with you the top events to look forward to this month. Whether you are a Raleigh local or looking for a reason to come to the city, we got the list you've been looking for!

Sunflower Fields at Dorothea Dix Park

July 1st-July 14th

Enjoy a day out in the sun! This is the spot for the summer. These sunflowers are planted for more than just a Raleigh Instagram hot-spot, but a green solution. At the end of the season the city will harvest these sunflowers to create thousands of gallons of biodiesel. In return, this is processed into fuel to run tractors, trailers, and farm equipment. Stop by and appreciate this green movement (and maybe take a photo or two)!

Beer and Banjos

July 2nd - Each Tuesday!

Each Tuesday, the Raleigh Times Bar hosts a music series event. This event focuses on traditional and acoustic music from our state of North Carolina and the Appalachian Mountains area. Stop by Tuesday from 7:30-10:30pm!

Raleigh 4th of July Fireworks Display

July 4th

Looking for where to watch those fireworks this year? You can't miss Raleigh's Fourth of July fireworks display experience. For the first year in six, this show will be returning to West Raleigh. The annual July Fourth fireworks will be held around the Carter-Finley Stadium and the PNC Arena area. Free parking available! Gates open at 6pm, and fireworks are launched at 9:32pm. A great event to appreciate with family and friends, this incredible show is a must do on Independence Day.

Bands, Bites, and Boats at Bond Park

July 5th
