The Triangle is especially vibrant this time of year, with events that invite us to slow down, gather together, and celebrate the season in meaningful ways. From festive markets to spirited holiday gatherings and reflective seasonal traditions, this week’s Trending in the Triangle highlights a mix of experiences that capture the energy, creativity, and community that make our area feel like home.
Holiday Night Market | Cary
Downtown Cary Park comes alive with community energy during the Holiday Night Market, a monthly favorite held at one of the Triangle’s most thoughtfully designed public spaces. Set within the award-winning park—home to dog parks, a splash pad, and open-air food and drink options—the market brings together 45–50 hand-picked artisans, food trucks, and prepared food vendors each time it pops up. Vendors are intentionally rotated to keep the experience fresh, giving the Cary community a chance to discover new local businesses while enjoying the park’s vibrant atmosphere. It’s an easy, festive way to spend an evening supporting small businesses and soaking in everything Downtown Cary Park has to offer. Be sure to visit the Cary Night Market website to learn more and see upcoming dates.
