PineCone partners with the Town of Cary, the Town of Wake Forest, and the NC Museum of History in downtown Raleigh to present free concerts.

PineCone and the NC Museum of History have been collaborators in presenting the Music of the Carolinas series for 12 years. Though the program almost lost funding in 2009, the 11-year-old partnership was considered too valuable to cut. This series invites people to discover and celebrate North Carolina's rich musical heritage by featuring the best home-grown North Carolina traditional artists, as well as by showcasing the musical and performance traditions of the various cultures that call North Carolina home today.

PineCone and the Town of Wake Forest continue to present free concerts in the summer and the fall in Wake Forest’s new E Carroll Joyner Park. The park opened in 2009. PineCone co-sponsored the first concert in that park, which featured North Carolina's own Big Fat Gap. PineCone also cosponsored a concert featuring the Swang Brothers as part of the festivities in the fall of 2009 honoring the organizations and individuals who helped make the park a reality.

Located at 701 Harris Road, this 117 acre E Carroll Joyner Park is the newest in the Wake Forest Parks system. The park includes a 1000 lawn seat amphitheatre, a performance area, the Walker garden, restored farm buildings and pecan grove, restrooms, pond, and approximately three miles of walking trails. Approximately 50% of the park will be open meadows.

On October 3, PineCone presents Leroy Savage and the Bottom Feeders.

PineCone's newest partnership is with the Town of Cary. This partnership formed in the summer of 2009 and was billed as the PineCone Summer Series at Sertoma. PineCone presented local favorites Chatham County Line and John Dee Holeman for the first year of the series; this year's series began with the Mangum & Company Shout Band on Saturday, May 8, and it continued with The Snyder Family Band on Saturday, August 14. This series will resume next spring.
