Where is the best place to watch a movie in the Triangle?

Bracket: Axios Visuals Six years after the pandemic threatened their survival, movie theaters are poised for their strongest year at the box office since 2019. And here at Axios Raleigh, we feel like we are constantly talking about how great this year's class of movies has been. Why it matters: Thankfully, the Triangle has a diverse set of options for catching a movie, ranging from neighborhood arthouse spots and historic venues fit for a festival to modern spaces with luxury seating and IMAX screens . Zoom in: On any night of the week, somewhere in the Triangle you can catch the buzziest movie of the moment, a classic being rescreened, an award-winning documentary or an indie film made on a shoestring budget. We hope our selection of movie theaters in this bracket captures the diversity that exists among those options.

Long-awaited pedestrian bridge opens near the Lenovo Center in West Raleigh

The signature red steel bridge over Wade Avenue in West Raleigh opens Saturday, providing safe passage for cyclists and pedestrians along a stretch of Blue Ridge Road near the N.C. Museum of Art . The bridge and connecting sidewalks are the first in what could be several changes in how people move about the area around the Lenovo Center as it develops into a 24-hour destination in coming years. It’s a milestone in the development of the area, said Nathan Spencer of the West Raleigh Alliance, a community group . “This bridge is the culmination of years of work by the alliance, in partnership with NCDOT and the City of Raleigh, to create a safe, dedicated pedestrian crossing for everyone: residents, State Fair visitors, concertgoers, and Wolfpack and Canes fans alike,” said Spencer, who co-chairs the group’s transit and transportation committee. The bridge will officially open at 11:30 a.m. as part of a wider celebration organized by the alliance and the city. “West Raleigh Multimodal Day,” as the event is called, aims to highlight the various ways of moving to and through a part of the city that draws visitors from throughout the region. The bridge parallels Blue Ridge Road

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
