Eat, sip stroll, tip.
WALK PAST OUTDOOR PERFORMANCES BY SOLO MUSICIANS,
DINE & DRINK AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT,
DONATE TO A FUND TO SUPPORT A FAVORITE LOCAL MUSIC VENUE OR PERFORMER.
The Save the Music street performance series is back, after taking Halloween off. The Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership is excited to welcome our community back to Franklin Street to enjoy buskers spend Saturday evening, Nov. 7.
As temperatures drop, prepare to bundle up and once again enjoy street music along with dinner and/or drinks at your favorite downtown restaurant or bar. Take the opportunity to stroll through downtown to hear all of the musicians, shop and stay socially distanced and safe.
Continue to mind the 3Ws in accordance with all state and Orange Co. public health guidelines. Do not gather/crowd around the artists, do give a tip and a round of applause from a nearby outdoor seating space.
This event series will support the artists who don’t have stadiums, concert halls or clubs to perform in while adding an ambience, a soundtrack, to our community as we continue to fight through the hard economic times.
