Carrboro’s Greatest Day!

by Jackie Helvey | August 15 2011

The Carrboro Music Festival is Carrboro’s greatest day! Since 1998, the Music Fest has drawn loads of musicians and music lovers from all over. The players change on the 25 stages, but the sweet strains of music that fill the town are nothing short of incredible!

Nearly 50% of the nearly 175 bands are new, from Native-American flute by the Neuse River Flute Circle to music & spoken word by Mahogany Door Project, this year has something for everyone! Returning favs include Tim Smith Band, Great Big Gone & Saludos Compay.

Shuttle bus runs from noon-8pm from Carrboro Plaza.

Spring Means Ladies’ Night Out

by Amy Wilmoth | March 08 2011

Working with the downtown Hillsborough’s merchant group every year, I look forward to the evening outdoor shopping events and celebration that has come to be known as Ladies’ Night Out (although men are welcome too). Shops throughout Downtown Hillsborough will have tastings, pampering, specials, music, and fun for the ladies centered on the flowering beauty of spring. Ladies’ Night Out shines the spotlight on our Churton and King Street merchants, ranging from antique and jewelery stores to yarn, art galleries, chocolate and bookshops and more. Many merchants will also have Mother’s Day wish lists and items perfect for Graduation gifts. Lantern luminaries will mark participating Downtown businesses.

It’s a fun night to see friends, enjoy food and refreshments and breath-in the spring air. Ladies’ Night Out happens twice a year. This spring, the date is April 28 from 6 – 9 pm. Our spring theme is “Hats Off to Spring” with a fun Hat Contest on the Courthouse lawn at 7:15 pm. There is plenty of parking in the parking garage behind Weaver Street Market.
