Local on Main: Pittsboro’s Farm & Art Dinner

Pittsboro's creative culture is a way of life. Culinary artistry, visual and performing artistry, and our appreciation for small family farms draw visitors who become neighbors. In recognition of these aspects of the good life we enjoy here, Main Street Pittsboro will present our "Local on Main: PBO's Farm & Art Dinner". Join friends and neighbors at a table in the center of Hillsboro Street to discover, acknowledge, and honor the skills of local chefs, farmers, and artists in this fundraiser to help us continue our mission of revitalizing our historic downtown district.
