To celebrate the opening of DRIFT Coffee & Kitchen Dix Park, guests are invited to enjoy a weekend of community events and exclusive grand opening experiences. On Saturday, August 15, the first 50 guests will receive a complimentary custom DRIFT tote. Throughout the weekend, visitors can take part in an interactive scavenger hunt around The Weld and surrounding Dix Park area, with participants having the opportunity to redeem special prizes at the coffee shop.

In partnership with Oaks & Spokes, the celebration will also include the Coffee to Coffee Greenway Celebration, featuring two community bike rides connecting DRIFT’s Raleigh coffee shops via the city’s greenway system and concluding at the new Dix Park location. Together, these events are designed to bring the community together while celebrating Raleigh’s newest gathering place.
