From cultural celebrations to creative storytelling and classic cars, this week’s lineup of local events highlights what makes life in the Triangle so special—connection, creativity, and community. Whether you’re showing up to celebrate tradition, share a passion, or simply enjoy a relaxed afternoon with others, there’s something on the calendar that invites you to be part of the fun.
Pitch It | Raleigh
If you’ve ever had a strong opinion, a niche obsession, or a presentation you’ve been dying to share—but never quite had the right audience—this might be your moment. “Pitch It!” Night at Raleigh Brewing is all about giving people the floor to talk passionately, enthusiastically, and unapologetically about whatever topic lights them up.
This isn’t your typical networking event or lecture. It’s a fun, low-pressure night where anyone can create and present a short presentation on a hot take, a favorite book, a random fact they recently learned, a memorable experience, or even a long-forgotten PowerPoint from high school or college. Whether you’re looking to practice an upcoming presentation, test out an idea, or just finally defend your stance on something as divisive as pineapple on pizza, you’ll have a captive (and supportive) audience ready to listen.
The beauty of “Pitch It!” Night is that the options are truly endless. The only boundaries? Presenters are asked to steer clear of politics, religion, and sex, keeping the evening light, creative, and entertaining for everyone in the room.
If you’re looking for a unique way to connect with the community, share your voice, or simply enjoy an evening of unexpected ideas and lively conversations, this is one event worth checking out. Visit Raleigh Brewing’s event website for details, sign-up information, and everything you need to know before pitching your next big idea.
Día de los Reyes Parade | Cary
A beloved winter tradition is returning to Downtown Cary as the 21st Annual Día de los Reyes Parade brings color, culture, and community spirit to the heart of the town. Rooted in the celebration of the Three Kings, this vibrant event honors Latino and multicultural traditions while creating a joyful, family-friendly experience for all ages.
The parade is more than a spectacle—it’s a meaningful opportunity for nonprofits, businesses, schools, cultural groups, and community organizations to come together and share their stories. Participants are encouraged to showcase their mission, heritage, and creativity while connecting with thousands of attendees who line the streets each year.
From floats and walking groups to musicians, dancers, and cultural displays, all forms of participation are welcome, and no prior parade experience is required. At its core, Día de los Reyes is about preserving tradition, celebrating identity, and passing these customs on to future generations through community involvement.

Anniversary Car Show | Knightdale
The Week of Anniversary Events wraps up with a laid-back, classic-style Anniversary Car Show that celebrates the timeless appeal of cars with history, character, and stories to tell. This relaxed Sunday gathering is perfect for anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship and nostalgia of antique, vintage, classic, sports, and muscle cars.
There’s no pressure and no competition here—just a chance to pull up, park, and enjoy a shared love of great cars. Whether you’re bringing a ride you’ve cherished for years or simply stopping by to admire the lineup, the atmosphere is all about community and conversation.
Adding to the experience, Waffe Station will be on site serving food during the event, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the afternoon. With no judging, trophies, or registration required, this car show is designed to be simple, welcoming, and all about enjoying the moment.

These events are a reminder that the Triangle thrives when people show up, share what they love, and celebrate together.
