They have food trucks, photo tunnels, great performances, etc. unfortunately I picked a rainy day but it was still a blast ! Would definitely go back. Tickets aren't much either. They were flexible on me having to reschedule as well. Was going to go back this year, this experience was three years ago but this past 2025 year, tickets were $50-60$, not worth that much

I love the Chinese Lantern Festival. I make a point to go every year. There is a different theme…read moreevery year, and the lighted exhibits for the theme. There are also interactive exhibits and acrobatic/performance shows. There is is ample parking at Koka Booth. Also, the ticket prices are less expensive in person than via the website. If you're trying g to go on a holiday or weekend, you may not want to take a chance. However, we save about $15 for three tickets buying in person for a Tuesday night in January. This year, I overheard someone say, "It's like walking through Avatar." I think that's a perfect description!

I liked that the town hall and community center were opened with signs to the restrooms we could use inside. That was convenient. Even more food options would be great. The ice cream available was delicious from Fresh Local Ice Cream, but too expensive at $6 a cup! The only thing I don't like about Lazy Daze is that it is during the hottest part of the year! It was 96 degrees and way too hot to walk around for too long.

There are events throughout the day featuring acrobatics and performances for kids and adults. Lots of high end artists to explore and enjoy. They have shuttles from various locations as there is limited parking nearby. The fair is located around the Cary town hall and beer garden. Wear your sunscreen and good walking shoes. There are lots of trees for shade but walking around you will be in full sun. Only thing I don't like about it is that you will have to carry all your purchases around but looking is free. Loved the bands that played throughout the day as well as the kids area entertainment.

Friendly drivers. We got dropped at the gate- then enjoyed ourselves- We didn't ride any rides - way too expensive (giant slide $7) unbelievable. The food was so pricey- one sausage $18 - lol - eat before you come (and bring snacks) Seeing all the shows and all the vendors- so much fun!

We had a blast both Friday & Saturday at the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival in Cary,NC at Koka Booth…read moreAmphitheater. It was a great two days of "beer sippin', bourbon tastin', music listenin', cigar smokin', and barbeque eatin'." That's what the website said they offered and it did not disappoint. Each guest received a souvenir glass to enjoy unlimited samples of beer and bourbon (plus there were a few wines and other spirits on hand to try). It was nice to discover some local distilleries and learn more about them inside the Tasting Theatre( where we opted to attend one of the seminars). We explored BBQ Food trucks galore but even if you don't eat it there were other options like Cousins Lobsters . I would say if I had to choose which day was best, Friday night VIP session included a Dinner Plate, where you can chose to get a sampler platter from the food trucks with that offer. All in all, we had us a ball! Feel free to see my full recap video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UsJYf37BPeU?si=Ua5gvkujWFA0ccEF

Lines were minimal. The food and beer were flowing. At around 12:40 it became VERY CROWDED !!! There were lines almost everywhere. They obviously decided to UP THE HEAD COUNT for VIP admission. My favorite foods were from Tazhikis (pork slider) and from Cameron Bar And Grill (pulled pork slider). WHERE WAS THE CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON ???? Nowhere to be found !! There were NO types of desserts !! Even the kettle corn guy was missing (and I brought some $$ for him).

I was on the search for a band that could cover music from the 80s and early 90s and could keep the crowd excited!! West Street Band surpassed my expectations. I never had the opportunity to go hear them live before I hired them and they really impressed me and the crowd. Mike the lead singer was so easy and professional to work with. The band showed up right on time and was ready to rock n roll when the event started. This was the first event where I actually had folks dancing out on the dance floor and I have to give credit to the band for that. I look forward to working with West Street Band again in the future and I highly recommend them for events big or small.

Opa! It's that time of the year when you're mouth waters for Pastitsio, Moussaká, and Spanakópita…read more You're ravenous and starving. Don't worry, these volunteers give you hungry-man size portions to feed on. If you've got some room left after the main course, go for some nice "light" desserts like Baklavá and Galaktoboúreko. That too light for you? Then get the sinfully decadent Baklavá ice cream sundae with nuts, chocolate syrup and a cherry on top. Go ahead, I double dog dare you! This unassuming festival is held every year in the East Chapel Hill High School cafeteria and adjoining outdoor grounds. This being our second time around, we opted to drive for fear of not being able to ride our bikes back due to the onset of food coma and extra luggage. This is by far much smaller than the larger annual Greek Fest held at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. However, don't let the size fool you. People flow in/out of the door at a regular pace and you see tons of people packing up their little to go boxes of Greek delicacies (savory and sweet). In contrast to the huge Raleigh version we went to last year, this is by far more intimate and definitely a family-worthy event if you have toddlers and kids. While we dined outside, we saw lots of families sitting out on the lawn and enjoying the nice balmy Saturday with kids screaming and running around. We had both the Moussaká, and Spanakópita plates. Good portion sizes served with a side Greek salad and a roll kept both of us extremely satiated. Her Spanakópita was buttery and flakey while my Moussaká had that beautiful thick, rich and creamy béchamel topping with a nice crispy baked skin on top. Sure we could prolly make this stuff at home....but who wants to take the time to put the pound of melted butter in between all those sheets of phyllo or who wants to slice up and layer all those thin slices of eggplants, zucchini and potatoes? Not me. I'm looking the other way and coughing up some $$'s for this one weekend. There are tons of vendors inside the cafeteria. While you eat (or even before/after), you can browse through the various vendors looking for Greek flags, jewelry, handmade knitted items, hats, t-shirts with kitschy phrases in Greek, CD's, olives, breads, etc. It's pretty much all there. They also sell a Greek cookbook ("The Grecian Plate") in case you're inspired to cook this stuff on your own. They purport to offer some music and dancing, but we only came for the food and missed out. Overall, great venue for kids and families, and the proceeds from the festival support St Barbara's new church. Feel good, feel stuffed, and just try not to fall asleep at the wheel when you drive back home! One final tip, if you go next year, go to the website and print out the free admission ticket to avoid the nominal $1 entrance fee. FYI, they don't have an alcohol license, so don't expect to find beers here. This is good wholesome family fun. Good solid sober 4 star fun!

There are over 20 Masonic lodges that are competing for a win for best bbq and sauce. The tickets are only $20 and you cannot eat as much bbq as your soul desires.

I went to the sip and shop area where you can get an alcoholic drink and wander around. I got to sample so many amazing local foods, sauces, and sweets. I walked out of that place work so much stuff! Then the agriculture center has livestock and learning experiences for the little ones. This festival is definitely a must try if you've never been!
