What is Flying Home | A Lindy Hop Event? This is a three-day celebration of Swing Era jazz and Lindy Hop dancing, featuring live bands, social dances, and instructional workshops. Held at the Carrboro Century Center, the weekend brings together dancers of all skill levels to learn, practice, and enjoy live music in a welcoming community setting. If you plan to attend, keep in mind that while the evening social dances are open to all, they are best suited for teenagers and adults due to the late hours and crowd size. Ticket prices range from $15 for individual social dances to $205 for full weekend passes. Parking is available in the municipal lots nearby in downtown Carrboro, and you should wear comfortable, flat, closed-toe shoes that allow you to move easily on a wooden floor. This event makes a fantastic weekend outing if you have older kids who love music, history, or dance. It is a low-pressure environment to try something new, listen to high-quality live jazz, and connect with a warm local community right in the heart of downtown Carrboro.

Is this dance event suitable for young children?
While the event is open to the community, the late-night hours and crowded dance floor make it best suited for teenagers and adults who want to learn or watch swing dancing.
Where should I park for the Carrboro Century Center?
You can park in the free public parking lot directly behind the Carrboro Town Hall or use the nearby street parking along Greensboro Street.
Do I need a partner to attend the dances?
