Cary Weekend – Swing Dancing, Theater and More
Cary, NC — Big fall weekend coming up in Cary and around the Triangle. You’ll find plenty to do, no doubt, with swing dancing and Darius Rucker in Cary (not at the same time, of course), the IBMA bluegrass festival in Raleigh and dinner theater at Booth Amphitheatre. There are some tough choices to be made this weekend, people.

From TMH: “The first dinner will feature Indian cuisine. Guests are encouraged to participate in the theme of the evening by wearing Indian attire.” More info on the Calendar.
