I'm assuming this is free? I didn't see anything on the site that said either way.

I've heard Lou Graham is in pretty bad shape, or was a few years back.

RALEIGH - The downtown Raleigh festival celebrating the opening of the new $221 million convention center will go on as scheduled Friday and Saturday.

Raleigh Wide Open was threatened by Tropical Storm Hanna, but city officials decided today that the brunt of the storm will come late Friday night and before dawn Saturday.
