First Sunday Takes Place the First Sunday of the Month in Downtown Pittsboro

First Sunday takes place on the first Sunday of each month. All the retailers that are members of the Pittsboro Merchants Association along Hillsboro Street open their doors for business from noon to 4 p.m. Also, craftspeople and vendors set up shop on the sidewalks, and live music is performed April through November.
The event, now in its fifth year, has grown in popularity over time.
“It is definitely getting better attended,” said coordinator Leslie Fesperman. “If you do an event over and over, you get better at it and also more people hear about it and become more involved in it.”
Fesperman said the event should continue to do well.
“I think people come to the event knowing that they can buy some nice handmade things and talk to the people who make the product,” she said. “They can support the local businesses in our community.”

The First Sunday for December on the 6th will feature a special event: the annual Christmas parade.
