Looking for Vendors!

We still have a few spaces available for the May 1st Artisan Market. If you haven't submitted an application yet, there's still time (deadline is April 15th)!

Thank you!

We want to thank each and every one of our vendors for helping us make the April Market a success! We hope each of you were just as successful individually as we were as a whole. Everything about Sunday was awesome and we couldn't be more pleased. We also need to thank the crowd, thank you for coming out!

We're already working on the planning for the May market! If you haven't filled out an application to be a vendor, please do it asap. The application deadline for the May 1st market is April 15th (tax day - you can't forget!). If you've already filled out an application, you can just send us an e-mail to pittsborofirstsunday@gmail.com and let us know you want to participate.

We hope May is even bigger than April - and hopefully a little bit cooler! See you then!

We're Back!

The First Sunday Artisan Market in Downtown Pittsboro is back for 2011. Our first Market will take place on Sunday, April 3rd from 12pm -4pm on Hillsboro Street. We have a great bunch of vendors this time around!

It's been a big undertaking for us to keep the Markets going, but we feel it's really worth the effort. We love the atmosphere, vendors and all of the wonderful customers that come out to help us support local handmade.

Tell your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers... basically everyone you come across about us. Help us start off the April First Sunday with a BANG!!!

Hope to see you out there!

March 6th - A Little Something Different

The first FIRST SUNDAY of the year is only a few weeks away (well, 3 depending on how you look at it)! We are hoping to have wonderful weather and many of our local merchants are opening their doors for your shopping pleasure! But, just in case, we're going to hold off on the outdoor portion of the market until April. Many of our local merchants have some exciting things going on in their shops for you! Start the day at the Pittsboro General Store Cafe for a lovely brunch or Virlie's Grill with the best Biscuits & Gravy in the Triangle; Beggars & Choosers is having a Martch Maddness Sale - Get a free outfit with your purchase, if you are willing to wear it out the door;  Liquidambar is having their art reception for their featured artists; and there's so much more...
