2023 Pittsboro Parks Events Calendar

The Pittsboro Parks Department has announced their 2023 event schedule and will feature a wide range of events for the community to engage in. Movies in the Park, Cars and Coffee events, recreation league games, 4^th of July Celebration, and the 2^nd annual Bluegrass Festival and more will highlight a busy season.

The 2^nd annual Sham-ROCK Daddy Daughter will take place on March 4 at the new venue, the Pittsboro Primary School. The inaugural event was a tremendous success and the new location will allow for continued growth.

The Farmers Market will kick-off on May 17 and runs until Sept. 13 at the Pittsboro United Methodist Church on a weekly basis. Vendors from across the county will proudly sell their products on Wednesday nights and can’t wait to meet all the shoppers.

Move Nights in the Park have become a staple at Scamahorn Park and feature great films under the stars on the summer nights. Movies this year will be on May 13, June 17, Aug. 26, Sept. 16, and Oct. 7. All movies start at dusk and information on movie titles will be released in the coming months.

The park comes to life with the sights and sounds of the 4^th of July during the annual Freedom Celebration. The day starts with a parade through Pittsboro, then a full day of activities at Scamahorn Park including vendors, great food options, and games for families. The skies come alive with a tremendous firework show to close out the night.

The second annual Bluegrass Festival returns on July 8^th with a full day of music. Three bands will take to the stage during the day entertaining those in attendance.

Cars and Coffee take place June 17, Aug. 19, Sept. 9, and Oct 21. This is a great way to start the day by checking out some of the finest cars in the area with other car enthusiasts.

The holiday season comes to Pittsboro on Dec. 2 as the parks department has a full day of activities to ring in the holiday season. A craft fair, Christmas tree lighting, Santa meet-and-greet and more will take place during the course of a busy day.
