Looking for the lowdown on all things Midtown? We know just the event.

The district’s rapid growth + future forecast are the focus of this year’s 2024 State of Midtown — an annual celebration held by the Midtown Raleigh Alliance happening on Thursday, Sept. 26.

🏢 New year, even newer location

This time around, the local org is going extra-glam, hosting the festivities at the brand-new, out-of-this-world-looking 1000 Social flagship tower on The Exchange Midtown campus.

Aptly named “Here We Grow Again,” the one-night event offers:

  • Interactive engagements
  • Locally curated bites
  • Cocktails, wine, and beer
  • Live DJ
  • Networking opportunities
  • And more

🌟 Your (company) name in lights

Tickets start at $75, and there are still a number of sponsorship opportunities available for local businesses looking to connect with the community.

No spoilers, but you may even catch a member or two of the RALtoday team enjoying the celebration + soaking up the views.
