Packapalooza is Saturday, August 22, 2 pm to 10 pm on Hillsborough Street by NC State.
We bought our first house in June and this is our first one. Is it worth taking a five year old to, or is it more of a college crowd once it gets dark? Also wondering how far out the street closures reach, since a friend lives off Oberlin and we were going to park there.
still on the list
Afternoon is family friendly. The vibe shifts later in the evening, so go early, eat, look at the booths and be gone before dark with a five year old.
Five Points since 09
Street closure footprint varies year to year. The city posts the closure map ahead of the event, look that up rather than guessing off last year.
pull the permit
Parking off Oberlin and walking in has worked for us. It is a walk but you are not trapped when it ends.
still learning the clay
Bring cash for some of the smaller vendors. Not all of them are quick with card readers when the street is packed.
shared wall life
Perfect, we will do the early shift then. Thanks all.
first house, many mistakes
