*Located directly across from the Gate D entrance to PNC Arena in the venue's "backyard" and near the corner of Trinity Road and Edwards Mill Road. Here is Backyard Bistro on Google Maps.

PARKING:
Backyard Bistro has limited parking and charges for it on show days, regardless of whether you are going to the show or not. You will not want to pay to park twice. Therefore, you can either arrive early and park at Backyard Bistro, or park across the street at PNC Arena and walk across Trinity to join the party.

    Hey All, I have been getting a lot of questions about whether or not the party is happening in Raleigh and wanted to keep you informed....We are working with the Wishlist board to make the best decision possible for the beneficiary, venue and all the traveling fans. As soon as we have an official statement it will be posted here. In the meantime, we ask for your patience as we work through this unprecedented situation in the history of the Wishlist Foundation. Sincerely, David.

    In support of Pearl Jam's decision to cancel their appearance in Raleigh, NC, in opposition of HB2, Wishlist Foundation is also cancelling their fan-run fundraiser, originally scheduled for Backyard Bistro on Wednesday, April 20.

    In lieu of the preparty fundraiser event, Wishlist Foundation will host an online auction in support of the local beneficiary, NC Sustainable Energy Association (NCSEA). The auction will open Wednesday, April 20 with a poster, signed by Pearl Jam, from the band's 2012 performance at the famed Isle of Wight festival. More auction items will be posted in coming days.

    In keeping with Pearl Jam's advocacy of renewable energy, NCSEA was chosen as the Raleigh beneficiary. Fans who would like to support the Herculean efforts by NCSEA are encouraged to do so with direct contributions or by following the Wishlist Foundation and NCSEA on social media for updates on future auction items.
