Walk Carrboro

For over 25 years (and counting) The ArtsCenter has always kept the Carrboro community informed and entertained with all it has to offer.  As a perfect playground for the imaginations of all ages, The ArtsCenter provides everything from concerts, plays, art exhibits, and various classes. And who would have thought their facility on East Main Street use to be a grocery store!

The ArtsCenter is a not-for-profit organization, and thanks to the many donations that they receive there is never a dull moment there!

Be sure to check out all of the musical plays, concerts, and classes this summer on their website.

The Beehive is THE place to be for all of those hair needs (and then some) in the Carrboro area.   The welcoming staff at The Beehive definitely take the time to get to know their clients and are very involved with the Carrboro community.

Besides providing the best hair styles for their clients,  The Beehive also provides other services that include make-up design, gift certificates, and even massages by appointment.  Not to mention, the salon uses  top of the line, environmentally friendly and cruelty free products  for their clients in a very relaxed setting.  Whether it is a for a special event or you’re just having one of those bad hair days (we all get them), check The Beehive.

Carrboro is one of the most passionate towns in North Carolina. Some folks are passionate about politics. Others about beer. Some folks are passionate about comedy. And some folks about chocolate. Okay, everyone is passionate about chocolate. More to the point, the people who have opened shops here are passionate about what they do. And many of them enjoy national and even international reputations. So come spend a perfect day with us and see why people who live in Carrboro love the town so much.
