Fifth Annual Bolin Creek Festival to be held October 4th
It’s time to Celebrate the Creek at the 5th Annual Bolin Creek Festival, 11am-5pm, October 4th at Umstead Park in Chapel Hill. This family-oriented festival is sponsored by the Friends of Bolin Creek and admission is free. To help us appreciate and preserve the beauty of Bolin Creek, Dale Morgan—local artist--will paint a picture for the festival. Dale is well-known for her charming watercolors of native birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Raffle tickets for the picture will be sold to raise money for the preservation of the stream corridor.
The festival will include music by local groups including Club Boheme--retro jazz with vocal pizazz,, Skeedaddle—an Americana string band, Project Mastana—passionate Bollywood dance music, and rhythm circles by the Music Explorium. Click here for the complete schedule. Special activities for children will include the introduction to stream critters and the popular Enviroscape by the Chapel Hill Stormwater Office. Learn about conservation activities of local groups including OWASA, New Hope Audubon Society, Eno River Association and Friends of Bolin Creek. Vimala’s delicious Indian food, Randy Dodd’s popular smoothies made by pedaling a bicycle and more will be available to satisfy your hunger. Overflow parking is available at the Exchange Swim Club. The festival this year will be coordinated with and follow Big Sweep, the clean-up of local creeks.
