Seasonal Best Bets
Our trees are showing bits of color in pinks and yellows and daffodils are popping up everywhere. So we'll take advantage of these days by biking the greenways and hiking the trails, enjoying the last of the winter produce at the farmers' markets, and meeting friends for a quick bite on the patio of our favorite eatery . Of course, if the weather doesn't cooperate, there are still exciting things to do inside.
There is plenty to celebrate in the communities of Orange County, NC! We celebrate our artists, our food and our farms. We come together to celebrate our cultural diversity. And we invite you to join us!. Scroll down and plan your visit around these best bets for SPRING. For a complete listing, jump to the Events Calendar.
You'll soon discover we have more green than pavement. Take advantage of warmer days and explore the extensive greenway system in Chapel Hill. Or just 20 minutes north, you'll find the award winning Riverwalk in downtown Hillsborough.
