Moore Square District
The Moore Square District is one of Downtown Raleigh’s most storied and welcoming corners, anchored by Moore Square Park at its heart. Here, scenic greenspace meets a lively mix of culture, creativity, and community, from family-friendly attractions like Marbles Kids Museum and IMAX, to live music venues, local art galleries, and acclaimed dining spots.
Just steps from the park, City Market’s century-old cobblestone streets offer a glimpse into Raleigh’s past, while the district’s connections to Raleigh’s Black history remain an important part of its story. Nearby residential developments like SkyHouse, Edison, and The Lincoln contribute to a vibrant neighborhood feel.
With year-round events, iconic gathering spaces, and easy access via the GoRaleigh Transit Center, Moore Square is a place to slow down, explore, and experience the rhythm of Downtown Raleigh.
