About
This year, we’re reimagining Fuquay-Varina’s premier evening (formerly Dinner in Downtown) into a dynamic, social atmosphere designed for connection and celebration. While Downtown after Dark remains the pinnacle of high-class sophistication, we are trading the traditional sit-down dinner for an evening of refined indulgence featuring artisanal cocktails, gourmet charcuterie, and an electric energy. This year’s event serves as a true tribute to the heartbeat of our town, blending the prestigious FVDA Downtown Awards with a vibrant spirit of live music and dancing. A central highlight of the night will be our Live Auction, featuring our reimagined En Plein Air art, offering guests a chance to take home unique pieces inspired by the beauty of our community.
