~ Looking Back for a moment ~
The first four years the festival was held in June and called The Fete De la Musique. In 2002 we moved to the last Sunday in September and began calling it The Carrboro Music Festival. 2008 will be the seventh year as festival coordinator for Gerry Williams, who says "This is the most incredible music event that I've been involved with during my thirty year career in and around music. Unlike many aspects of the music business, this is entirely about celebrating our community and its music. The range and quality of what we see and hear each year is simply amazing!"

We wish to thank all the performers who have volunteered their time and energy over the past 10 years. Our festival would not exist without them.

Tickets for our annual raffle- which not only seems to have something for just about everyone but also a greater chance of winning than just about any raffle you'll ever see- can also be purchased at the three information tables. Tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. Winning tickets will be drawn in the week following the event and winners will be notified by phone.

Children's Activities

The Town Commons again featured a number of activities for kids. A twenty foot high scramble slide and Cameron the Caterpillar gave our youngsters plenty of exercise. Ellen Perry provided materials and supplied a fun, educational, hands-on creative arts experience. Specialty food vendors were there to provide sustenance. All of these activities were right next to the Town Commons stage where six wonderful bands provided the music.
