The Fifth Annual Canes Summer Fun Fest is moving indoors this year, giving fans a chance to have fun out of the sun and explore the arena.

On Friday, July 20, Caniancs will gather at PNC Arena for an evening of hockey-themed fun. Inside the building, fans can take pictures on the team bench, in the penalty box, with the Olympias and with the rafter jerseys, which will be lowered for the event. If you're interested in buying season tickets for the Canes' upcoming season, feel free to roam the seats and pick out a prime location!

There will be more than 20 inflatable structures, free giveaways, guest speakers from the Hurricanes, discounted concessions, a showing of a Hurricanes video and more - plenty to entertain the whole family. Stormy and the Storm Squad are also expected to be on hand.

The event is also hosting a School Supply Charity Drive to benefit the Wake County Boys & Girls Clubs. By donating school supplies you will be entered to win a 2011-2012 team-signed replica jersey.

The event and parking are free, and the fun starts at 5:30 p.m.
