First Sunday in Pittsboro, NC
Monthly Arts and Crafts Festival
Sometimes the best events are small town events.
Pittsboro, NC holds a "First Sunday" event every month, featuring original and handmade arts and crafts.
Nothing mass produced is allowed in the vendor booths!
First Sunday is held in downtown Pittsboro, and is a combination of local merchants and area artists as well as individual craftpeople. 
Pittsboro is just a short drive from Raleigh, and the event runs 12-4 pm, which makes it a great after church activity.
Visitors will be able to find: baskets, jewerly, glass knick knacks, knitted items, decorative painting and leather work, baby items, children's bags and purses, paper crafts, and stained glass.
You can even check news and specials ahead of time. The Pittsboro Merchants Association does a great job keeping their website up to date, and promoting local small businesses.
If hunger pangs hit, there are booths offering fish and chicken, hot dogs, funnel cakes, pound cake, and more. The local downtown restaraunts are also open during this event.
