SHERATON DOWNTOWN
We’ve partnered with the Sheraton in downtown Raleigh to offer a discounted rate to Hopscotch 2024 attendees. The Sheraton is located in the heart of downtown, walkable to Hopscotch’s main stages and clubs, as well as local restaurants, attractions, and bars.
Plan Your Trip to Raleigh, N.C.
Earning spots on national “top live music destination” lists through the years, Raleigh, N.C., is a natural to host one of the most talked-about and eclectic music festivals in the South. Hopscotch provides a great example of the quality, quantity and variety of live music you can hear when you visit Raleigh, from one end of the destination to the other.
Beyond the music, when you visit for Hopscotch, you’ll be warmly welcomed at restaurants owned by James Beard Award-winning chefs and food and beverage masterminds; free state museums (the North Carolina Museum of History and Museum of Natural Sciences are downtown, near the festival footprint); local art spaces that give creative minds places to inspire each other; boutique shops offering locally crafted items to take home; and much more. Creativity and collaboration is at the heart of our thriving destination, and you can experience it all first-hand. PLACES
Places to Stay
Downtown Raleigh has plenty of hotel options to help you rest easy! Find a place to stay in the middle of the Hopscotch action, here.
Eat
Raleigh’s food scene? It’s booming. It’s better than ever, thanks to tasty endeavors from a community that’s passionate about good eats and drinks. Local farmers provide fresh meat and local produce to restaurants and their award-winning chefs focused on farm-to-table cooking.
Look up restaurants near Hopscotch music venues here.
Raleigh also serves up that delicious BBQ you hear about from North Carolina—you can get both Eastern and Western styles here. A number of the area’s best spots are downtown, and you can find them here.
Things to Do
Outside of the area’s burgeoning amount of live music offerings, Raleigh is also known for its museums, arts activities, historic sites, sporting events and shopping mecca status with nine major retail areas… oh, and did we mention 30-and-counting craft breweries and “you-could-spend-hours-browsing” vinyl record stores?!
