Hey Raleigh friends!

Spring is in full bloom, and the weekend forecast calls for good vibes and even better events. Whether you’re a book lover seeking magic or a tech newbie with a confused smartphone, this Saturday, April 5, the City of Raleigh has something fun (and free!) to float your weekend boat.

1. Set Sail with “Beyond the Book, Chapter 4: The Mystic Sea”

10 a.m. | Hosted by Parks, Recreation, and Athletics

Ahoy, readers! Calling all bookworms, story seekers, and curious minds—Chapter 4 of Beyond the Book is here, and it’s making waves! This Saturday morning, trade your land legs for literary ones and dive into The Mystic Sea—an adventurous and immersive storytelling experience where books come to life (no soggy pages involved).

Expect mystery, imagination, and maybe even a pirate or two. Whether you’re 6 or 60, this event is a perfect excuse to let your inner adventurer roam free. Bonus points if you show up with a sailor’s hat.

Register today to claim your spot—because legends wait for no one.

2. Got Tech Drama? Drop in for “Advice About Your Device”

1 p.m. | Community and Workshops

We’ve all been there: your phone is acting weird, your tablet refuses to connect to Wi-Fi, and your smart watch is just… too smart. Fear not! The City of Raleigh is offering a friendly drop-in session this Saturday afternoon where tech-savvy pros are ready to answer all your device-related questions.

No appointment. No judgment. Just answers—and maybe a few laughs along the way. Bring your device, your questions, and a willingness to say, “Ohhh, that’s how that works!”

This is your chance to go from “Ugh, why won’t this thing work?” to “I got this.” Empowerment feels good, doesn’t it?

One City, Two Adventures

Whether you’re diving into tales of the deep or untangling the mysteries of your mobile device, Raleigh’s got your Saturday covered. Make some memories, meet new faces, and remember—every weekend is what you make of it.
