North Carolina Reviews Delayed Deputy Appointment Notice in Granville County

North Carolina’s Sheriffs’ Education and Training Standards Commission received notice of Joseph Costa’s Granville County appointment nearly two years after he took the oath in June 2024, the Raleigh News & Observer reported. The notice followed a court filing by prosecutor Mike Waters that raised questions about Costa’s departure from the Durham County Sheriff’s Office. Costa remains certified while the commission investigates; no outcome has been announced.

What to Do in Raleigh in December 2026

This December, soak up the season with twinkling light displays, holiday classics on stage and festive markets across the Triangle. Each holiday season, it’s a delight to see homes transformed with twinkle lights, but few do it better than the folks on Winter Song Road in North Raleigh’s Bedford community. Jenn Nowalk, who has lived on the street since 2012, is one of many neighbors who help bring the display to life. What began during COVID, when neighbors gathered around firepits, has grown into a holiday tradition involving about 30 homes on Winter Song Road, with neighboring streets joining in. Hundreds of thousands of lights are strung around tree trunks and in swags across the road, complementing the individually decorated homes. Highlights include a light tunnel, a 26-foot illuminated Fairybell tree, a giant Yeti, a talking Santa, a selfie station and even the occasional snow machine. “When you put this many together in one area on the same street, it shines bright and is really impactful,” Nowalk says. “It’s become a place where memories are made, traditions are started and the simple magic of the holidays comes to life.” Kids also hand out candy canes and collect donations for Triangle Spokes Group, a nonprofit that provides new bikes to local children. Nowalk, a co-founder of the group, has helped coordinate the charitable efforts, which have raised more than $50,000 in recent years. To cut down on traffic, visitors are encouraged to park at the Shoppes at Bedford (3607 Falls River Ave.) and walk up Winter Song Road. For more festive lights, consider visiting the Stonehenge, Ridgewood or Boylan Heights neighborhoods, which are also known for their elaborate displays. — Katie Mangee.

5 Best Restaurants in Durham, North Carolina You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Durham, North Carolina — a city where tobacco warehouses stand shoulder to shoulder with glassy new towers, where the laughter of Duke students mingles with the wisdom of old-timers, where every street corner pulses with the energy of makers, dreamers, and families who’ve called this place home for generations. Here, the city’s soul is stitched together by the legacy of Black Wall Street, the rhythm of jazz and gospel, and the promise of new beginnings. It’s a place where barbecue smoke drifts through neighborhoods, where the scent of biscuits and collards mingles with the spice of new arrivals, and where every meal is a gathering — a celebration of memory and hope, of resilience and reinvention.

This 8,000 Square Foot North Carolina Mosque Has A Stunning Dome Decorated Entirely By Hand

I find that patience more impressive than any single architectural detail. Families saved, planned, and kept building until...

Johnston County’s Scholarship Nonprofit Is Only the First Step Toward Federal Tax-Credit Aid

Johnston County’s school board has authorized district administrators to form a nonprofit for the new federal Education Freedom Tax Credit. The action creates a possible route for donations and scholarship awards; it does not provide money or establish that scholarships are ready to be distributed. Before families can receive aid through the program, an organization must meet federal requirements and be included on North Carolina’s approved list.

Dreamville Festival could make a comeback in Raleigh in 2027

The organizers behind Raleigh's popular Dreamville Festival have applied for a special event permit to hold the festival at Dix Park in 2027. Why it matters: If it happens, the festival could attract tens of thousands of people to Raleigh and generate over $100 million in economic activity . Catch up quick: In 2025, North Carolina rapper J. Cole announced that he would be stepping back from performing and organizing the Dreamville Festival. But due to its success, Live Nation and the city of Raleigh worked out a deal to return a festival, potentially under a different name, to Dix Park. However, organizers did not put on a festival this year. Driving the news: The permit, filed in October and obtained through a record request by Axios, is still under review. If approved, it doesn't mean that the event will ultimately go ahead. But it does indicate planning is ongoing. Yes, but: A permit was also filed last year and no festival materialized, a spokesperson for the city of Raleigh confirmed. Festival organizers haven't responded to multiple requests for comment. Zoom in: The event permit lists the name of the event as Dreamville Presents and describes it as a multi-stage
