With COVID-19 restrictions easing up, spring and summer events are coming back in full force. From concerts to art exhibitions, there are plenty of opportunities to break routine and enjoy the season in Chapel Hill.
Here are some events residents can attend in the coming weeks.
Chapel Hill Farmers' Market
The Chapel Hill Farmers' Market is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with local vendors selling seasonal produce and artisanal products like baked goods and pastries.
As the pandemic winds down, manager Kate Underhill said she has noticed a decline in patronage. People are traveling more than they have for the past year, and restaurants in Chapel Hill are resuming indoor dining, which diverted customers away from the farmers market, Underhill said.
“It was such an unusual year for everybody," Underhill said. "It might be that we’re closer to what we were before, in 2019. We hope that things will balance out and that we’ll see them back after the abundance of summer produce reaches the market.”
Southern Village
Chapel Hill's Southern Village is organizing events that showcase talent and artisanship within the community. It will host a concert on May 30 with local musicians Barry Gray and Wes Collins. The concert is part of the Sundays at Sundown Music Series, which will continue throughout the summer.
Additionally, La Vita Dolce in Southern Village is hosting "Wine Down Wednesdays," a weekly event where guests can enjoy discounted wine and live music, and children can get free toppings for their gelato.
