Arts & Culture
This area has been known for decades for its thriving creative music scene. Many people travel from around the region – and sometimes around the world – to attend shows at the Cat's Cradle and other venues in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Less famous, but also doing us proud, are visual artists, dancers, actors, and filmmakers around the Triangle. In fact, Chapel Hill was home to the first Flicker festival, which now takes place in ten cities around the world!

As a vegetarian, I don't personally endorse this enthusiastic celebration of eating pig, but it seems like a great community institution.I do appreciate their effort to reduce the amount of waste being generated this year.
Hillsborough Hog Day, now celebrating its 26th Year,
is a fun-filled family barbecue and entertainment festival,
presented by the Hillsborough/Orange
County Chamber of Commerce. Hillsborough Hog Day is
Orange County's largest festival, and a major fundraiser for
the Chamber of Commerce.
In 2008, Hillsborough
Hog Day is going ZERO WASTE! This will be Orange County's
first zero waste, trash free festival. We plan to recycle
everything that can be recycled, including forks, spoons,
food waste - even the music is going to be a mix of old favorites
and new stuff!
