Stuff was happening everywhere. I missed a lot more than I saw. A pass got you into various inside performance around downtown and into the area directly in front of the main stage but were not required to stroll the carnival and enjoy things like the in-the-street Aerial Stunt Showcase. Main stage performance could easily be heard and seen without a pass. Downtown Raleigh has free wi-fi which worked quite well in the primary carnival area along Fayetteville Street. A downloadable app with map, schedule, and more was available free for both Android and iOS. There were even cards with a QR code being handed out to help access the app.

Sometime later I had dinner at Cafe Luna. Like just about every place in the area, it was crowded and there was a bit of a wait. There was also a little problem getting my meal but the crab, lobster, & prawn stuffed Tortelli Crostacci ("Ravioli", the waiter said when I asked.) was excellent when it arrived and the goof made the Moretti free.

Note that, although the website's URL has but one 'F', the text and the neon signs say this place is Caffe Luna.

In case you're still singing and need a little accompaniment, here's the tune you're looking for played on what has become my favorite holiday instrument.
