On view evenings through Winter 2027 | Daily hours 6pm-2am
Raleigh Union Station Plaza, 230 S West Street
Raleigh Rhythm is an interactive public art installation that transforms your movement into a vibrant display of color and light! Hop on, take a boogie break, and watch as it responds beneath your feet with ever-changing patterns, making every experience unique.
Follow the colors, challenge a friend to a dance-off, or see what happens when multiple people move across the installation together. Then continue your Downtown Raleigh adventure, where shops, restaurants, and even more public art are just a short walk away.
