Raleigh to host 'Saturday on South' party downtown to share info on changes in the area

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The City of Raleigh is inviting community members to join them for its Saturday on South party in downtown Raleigh.

The city said the event is a chance for community members to learn more about the plans and speak with City staff and other project partners about the proposed work.

The Raleigh Convention Center announced in June its intentions to permanently close a section of South Street, between McDowell and Dawson Streets, to relocate the Red Hat Amphitheater.

The Raleigh City Council is expected to vote on the issue in September.
