Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek

Walnut Creek opened in 1991 and has spent decades as Raleigh’s large summer concert shed. The wooded site and broad lawn give it a more relaxed feel than Lenovo Center, while the capacity is still large enough for national tours.

Coastal Credit Union Music Park sits southeast of downtown Raleigh and is easiest by car. Rock Quarry Road and the surrounding approaches build quickly before sold-out shows, so arrive early and follow the event parking instructions rather than looking for shortcuts.

Before travelling to Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, open its official A–Z, FAQ or guest guide and confirm the concert's bag dimensions. A small essentials-only setup is the safest choice when an event notice is more restrictive.

The venue is outside the most walkable parts of Raleigh, so driving is the norm. Traffic on Rock Quarry Road and the surrounding approaches can build quickly. Summer heat and thunderstorms are regular factors, especially for lawn tickets.
