Elf Market & Holiday Fair 2021
Saturday December 4th, 10am -5pm
 University Place, 201 S Estes Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27514

The ArtsCenter will hold its 15th annual Elf Market on December 4th.  It was a hard decision with respect to location however given the persistence of the pandemic we have decided to utilize University Place in Chapel Hill as we did last year. University Place is a spacious 12,000 square foot venue that will allow vendors to safely space out their tables and shoppers to shop while maintaining plenty of social distance. All vendors, attendees and staff will be required to wear a mask while at the event.
