Before Friday rush hour has finished rushing, the barricades go up, blocking off Fourth Street in downtown Winston-Salem.
Two hours later, at 6 p.m., the music starts. The crowd has already begun to gather, several hundred now, a thousand more on the way. Down in front of the stage, two people are already dancing, and more are sipping cold drinks, and getting ready to get up and dance.

It’s a common litany in any city smaller than, say, a half-million
people: there’s nothing to do at night. We love it when people say
that about Winston-Salem, because then we get to provide them with the list
below. We try not to be smug about it. The truth is, if you can’t
find anything to do here, you must have your eyes shut.
