North Raleigh Halloween-themed Indie Bookstore Crawl w/ Katie Karambelas

Spend a full day celebrating books and fall festivities on this guided tour through independent bookstores across the North Raleigh area. You'll travel by party bus to multiple stops in Wake Forest, Youngsville, and Oxford, visiting shops like Page 158 Books, Broken Anchor Music, Angel Wings Bookstore, and Wild Hare Books. Along the way, you'll meet local romance author Katie Karambelas and another featured indie author. The crawl kicks off at hOMe Yoga Studio & The Winebrary with a Halloween-themed drink and used book shopping, followed by time browsing local authors and seasonal vendors. Your $140 ticket includes round-trip party bus transportation, a boxed lunch from The Lemon Tree, your first themed beverage, light snacks and drinks on the bus, and a swag bag filled with surprises—including a blind-date used book, a signed Katie Karambelas novel, bookmarks, stickers, and more. This event is for ages 21 and up and runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Costumes are encouraged, with prizes available. You'll park your car at the starting location and return there at the end. A private Facebook group lets attendees connect before the event.
