The American Tobacco Campus is arguably one of the top venues in the Triangle for enjoying an outdoor event in an intimate and family-friendly atmosphere. Ample parking and several fine eateries surround the lawn.

 

Outdoor seating abounds and some restaurants take their grills to the sidewalk, so food and beverages are only steps away. Kids are welcome on the lawn where families can enjoy the Ol' Bull River that runs through the middle of the campus.

 

Great American Tobacco Duck Race

 

One of the main events at this year’s Family Fest will be the annual Great American Tobacco Duck Race. The race will take place on the banks of the Ol' Bull River at the American Tobacco Campus.
