FESTIFALL ARTS MARKET POP-UP

140 West Franklin Street in Chapel Hill
Ready to soak up everything this season has to offer? Join us at Chapel Hill Community Arts & Culture's Festifall Arts Market on Saturday, November 2nd from 12:00-5:00pm for a Switchback Pop-Up! This year's market will feature artisan vendors, music, and performances to celebrate Día de los Muertos. 💀 🕯🌼 🥮
As always, we'll have a fantastic selection of secondhand outdoor gear at pay-what-you-can pricing. 🥾🏕🎒 And we'll be donating 10% of pop-up proceeds to UNETE North Carolina to forward their mission of creating inclusive and equitable spaces that foster health, self-advocacy, and wellness among Latinx families in Western NC. Hope to see y'all there!
