Can't decide between a cozy small town and the convenience of city living? Downtown Carrboro offers the perfect solution -- have both! Carrboro is a terrific town located on the west side of Chapel Hill, one block from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. Downtown Carrboro is where the action is -- this is the home of the town's wildly popular Carrboro Music Festival. It is also the location of the ArtsCenter, Cat's Cradle, Weaver Street Market, and the Carrboro Farmers Market.
Downtown Carrboro is a walkable district that offers dozens of art galleries, shops, pubs, and restaurants to explore. Some popular hotspots include Beer Study, the West End Wine Bar, the Baxter Arcade, and Nightlight. Be sure to check out the 2nd Friday ArtWalk, which takes place in Carrboro and Chapel Hill every month and features local artists as well as food, activities, live music, art demonstrations, and more.
