(The Triangle Trend) — Although it may seem like Summer literally just started, we are quickly approaching the last month of the hot season. As bittersweet as that may be, it’s not too late to go out with a bang while still being health conscious. Online events are typically cheaper, more to the point, and time efficient than their in-person counterparts, and when you join virtual events curated for your community, there’s always a chance you’ll see other others you know and receive a more personal overall experience. Here are all the hottest online events for Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill locals to look forward to before September 22nd rolls around.
