Downtown Chapel Hill

Celebrate this Juneteenth alongside your neighbors and community! ❤️💛💚🖤

The annual Chapel Hill–Carrboro Juneteenth Celebration returns this month for an evening honoring Black community and culture. Head to Hargraves Community Center on Friday, June 19 from 4 to 8 p.m. for live music and line dancing. There will also be a vendor market and food trucks.

A long effort to spark entrepreneurship at UNC is starting to pay off, and downtown Chapel Hill is starting to see the benefits. 💙

For years, the university has worked to turn its research into businesses. This is particularly important for a town looking to attract more companies and build a downtown economy that doesn’t slow down when students leave for the summer.

Today and tomorrow, the Savannah Bananas are taking over UNC’s Kenan Stadium, and downtown is getting in on the action. Restaurants and bars throughout the area are serving up game-day specials all weekend, so there’s plenty to enjoy even if you don’t have a ticket. 🍌🍌

Before you head out, a few tips: downtown will see a big uptick in foot and vehicle traffic, so give yourself extra time. 🕕Parking decks and lots are expected to fill early, and special event pricing may apply. The Tar Heel Express shuttle is a great alternative; grab your pass while they’re still available. 🎟️
