“Arrive by 4 PM to grab the best band merchandise before sizes sell out.”
Music Market is a community gathering at the ArtsCenter where you can meet local musicians, browse band merchandise, and watch live radio broadcasts. It serves as a preview event for the weekend's music festival, bringing together area vendors and artists under one roof. What to Know: This event is free to attend and takes place indoors, making it an easy option regardless of the weather. It is best suited for school-aged children and teenagers who enjoy music and radio production. The ArtsCenter is located in downtown Carrboro, where you can find street parking or use the nearby municipal lots. You do not need to bring anything but some pocket money if your kids want to buy band t-shirts or stickers from the vendors. This is a great weekend pick because it offers a low-key way to support the local arts scene without the volume and crowds of a traditional concert. It is a manageable afternoon outing that fits easily between naptime and dinner.
