RDU to Hold July 4 Celebration for Holiday Travelers

RDU Airport, NC – In honor of July 4, Raleigh-Durham International Airport will host a holiday celebration from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow, July 2, on the terminal concourses. Holiday travelers will have the opportunity to support the troops and the USO at RDU, while enjoying live music and gifts for children.
