“Book a sitter early and head out Friday night for the vinyl DJ sets.”
Little Gem Anniversary Week is a multi-day celebration in Chapel Hill featuring guest bartenders, vinyl DJs, and live musical performances. The event marks the venue's milestone with different programming each night, culminating in a weekend lineup that includes a turntable takeover on Friday and live bands on Saturday evening. If you are planning to attend, keep in mind that this event is best suited for adults looking for a night out. Admission is free, but you will want to budget for drinks if you plan to order from their cocktail menu. Street parking is available along Franklin Street, or you can use the nearby Wallace Parking Deck, which is just a short walk from the venue. This makes an excellent weekend pick if you need an excuse to book a babysitter and catch up with friends. The relaxed, music-focused atmosphere offers a perfect backdrop for a casual date night without a cover charge.
