# Apex Today: Your Weekend Update for May 17, 2025
Good morning, Apex residents! It's Saturday, May 17, and the town is buzzing with activity. Today marks the kickoff of several exciting community events that you won't want to miss.
The Senior Showcase opens its doors today at the Apex Community Center, highlighting the talents and achievements of our local seniors. The showcase continues tomorrow, so you have two full days to support our amazing senior community[1].
For early birds and bargain hunters, the Women's Ministry of Apex First Baptist Church is hosting their 1st Annual Yard Sale Fundraiser. The event started bright and early at 6 AM and runs until 2 PM today. Located at 419 South Salem Street, this rain-or-shine event features 50 vendor spaces with plenty of treasures to discover[2].
Later today, the 27th Annual North Carolina Rally & March for Life will take place in Apex beginning at 12:45 PM. Participants from across the state are expected to gather for this significant event[3].
The Apex Police Department reminds residents to stay safe during these busy weekend activities. For emergencies, call 911, and for non-emergencies, contact 919-362-8661[4].
Looking ahead to next week, Monday brings two notable meetings: the Mayor's Substance Misuse Task Force and the Public Art Committee. Tuesday will feature both a Town Council Work Session and a Board of Adjustment Meeting, while Wednesday offers the Wednesday Morning Movie and a special Learning Lunch celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Month[1].
Our parks and recreational facilities are seeing increased activity as summer approaches. Remember that fall activity registration will be opening soon, so keep an eye on the town's official website for important dates and details[5].
It's no surprise that these events continue to make Apex shine as one of America's most desirable communities, previously recognized by MONEY Magazine as the #1 Best Place To Live In America[5].
Whether you're shopping at the yard sale, supporting our seniors, or participating in community activism, there's something for everyone in Apex this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday, and we'll see you around town!
