Holiday Culture Fix for December 23-25


Wondering what to do with the family this weekend? It’s a quiet weekend in Orange County, but fear not… there’s still a few chances to get out of the house!

Tomorrow night in Hillsborough is the Annual Berlin Brothers Christmas Concert presented by Mystery Brewing Company, taking place at The Cloth Mill at Eno River at 7pm, featuring a 32-piece band and choir. Members of Squirrel Nut Zippers, Curtis Eller‘s American Circus, Tres Chicas, Boom Unit Brass Band and The Wiley Fosters. All this, AND it’s free! There’s also live music with Hillacasters at Nash Street Tavern, 8pm (no cover).

Tomorrow in Chapel Hill there’s alt rock with Overwash, Wild Domestic and Ashton Eller Music at The Cave, 9pm. In Carrboro, Tyler’s Restaurant & Taproom has blues with The Preexisting Condition at 10pm and 2nd Wind has alt rock with The Lone Gunmen at 10pm.

On Saturday, check out Christmas jazz with the Able Jones Combos at 2nd Wind, 7pm.

Don’t forget to SHOP LOCAL ARTS in your last minute hunt for gifts! Just a few suggestions – gift certificates for shows at The ArtsCenter, DSI COMEDY and PlayMakers Repertory Company. Handcrafted housewares, original fine art or locally made jewelry at Hillsborough Arts Council, FRANK, Franklin Street Arts Collective, Studio HSBO – Thomas Stevens Arts, Hillsborough Artists Cooperative & The Skylight Gallery, Eno Gallery, Hillsborough Gallery of Arts Tyndall Galleries, Ackland Museum Store, Cameron’s or This & That Gift Gallery, or gift memberships to Ackland Art Museum or The ArtsCenter.

We wish you all a safe, happy, and art-filled holiday!
