Some of my favorite things to do last summer after I had just moved here was free/cheap concerts and movies outdoors. For example, I went to the concerts in Fred Fletcher Park each week (free), saw some outdoor movies at the art museum for very cheap, as well as outdoor movies at the Koka Booth ampitheater. Does anyone have links/info about schedules for those (and others I may not know about) this year? All I've found so far are the 2009 schedules.

Here are a few. There are others, but these are the ones off the top of my head:
Here is the link to the 2010 outdoor concert series at the NC Museum of Art: Link
And this is the link to the 2010 outdoor movie schedule: Link
Here is the schedule for free outdoor music at North Hills: Link (http://www.northhillsraleigh.com/news/576/ - broken link)
The Weaver Street Market Jazz and More Bruch Concert Schedule: Link
Music on the Lawn Schedule @ American Tobacco Campus in Durham: Link (http://www.americantobaccohistoricdistrict.com/news/motl.asp - broken link)
I also want to add, that the Raleigh Road Theater, in henderson is a great family friendly drive in theater! We go regularly, they offer family friendly movies for the first showing, (usually G rated) then the second showing is either PG13 or R, they are all currently released movies.........And, admission is 6 per adult and 2 dollars per child 6-12. They have hot dogs, popcorn, candies, etc.
We bring lawn chairs, and have a great time! It may be a drive for some, it is about 30 minutes from wake forest, but it is a fabulous place for fun!
Duke Gardens had free movies last year. They had classics like The Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain, etc. I don't see any information on their blog or website about that yet this year. They also had some music, too, but I think there was a small fee for that if I remember correctly.
