The Hopscotch Music Festival every year features day parties, or shows that are free for the public to attend and often feature local acts at venues around Raleigh.

WUNC's Eli Chen illustrates her thoughts about a few of this year's day parties.

An illustration showing text that says "The Hopscotch music fest's day parties are a great way to enjoy the festival for free, support local acts and explore bars, clubs, coffee shops and other venues around Raleigh. WUNC's Eli Chen checked out a few."
