Community Engagement

On First Friday in November, the City of Raleigh welcomes you to Commerce Place in the Warehouse District. We’ve recently implemented some pedestrian-oriented improvements to Commerce Place, including outdoor seating, overhead lighting, and a striking mural created by local artist Mary Carter Taub. Stop by Commerce Place, located between W. Martin and Davie streets, to join us in celebrating a new pedestrian-friendly “third place” for the people of Raleigh. As a future event center, Commerce Place will fit right in on any First Friday itinerary that includes CAM, the Pit, Boxcar, Videri Chocolate, Raleigh Denim, 311 Gallery and other local businesses. Come out for snacks, games, live music, a raffle for items donated by Warehouse District businesses, and to share your thoughts on the new Commerce Placevision. Visit our Commerce Place project webpage to learn more about the project! Commerce Place accessible via either W. Martin or W. Davie streets, Raleigh, NC, 27601. Please note this event is outdoors and will not be held in the event of severe weather.
