5 events in Chapel Hill and Carrboro to help you celebrate the beginning of fall

’Tis the season of football, flannel and PSLs — aka the best time of the year.

This Wednesday marks the autumnal equinox for the 2015 year, meaning that soon enough leaves will start to change color, back sweat days will be history and our biggest problem will be choosing an outfit that can make it through the whole day.

So how exactly should you celebrate this glorious transition? By procrastinating on writing that midterm essay we both know you haven’t started yet and checking out local events in the area!

Here are a few things you don’t want to miss this weekend:

1. The Annual Carrboro Music Festival

When: Saturday, Sept. 26 and Sunday, Sept. 27

Where: Carrboro

Why should I care? 2 words: Free. music.

2. UNC Football: UNC vs. Delaware

When: Saturday, Sept. 26

Where: Kenan Memorial Stadium

Why should I care? We’re still on cloud nine after Saturday’s victory against Illinois, but UNC wide receiver Bug Howard had some choice words criticizing the fan base for not showing up on game day. #goheelsgoamerica

3. Chapel Hill-Carrboro Small Plate Crawl

When: Tuesday, Sept. 29 to Thursday, Oct. 1

Where: Throughout the area -- and Hillsborough

Why should I care? If you love food just as much as I do, this one is self-explanatory.

4. Carolina FTK Foundation’s Annual Kilometers For The Kids

When: Sunday, Sept. 27 at 9 a.m.

Where: McCorkle Place/Old Well

Why should I care? Music and food bore you? No reason to worry! If you want to contribute to a good cause and love being active, you should definitely check this one out. Intimidated? You shouldn't be; they even have a "One-Mile Fun Run." 

5. Total Lunar Eclipse Viewing

When: Sunday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m.

Where: Morehead Planetarium 

Why should I care? You won’t be able to see another total lunar eclipse from North Carolina until 5 years from now! If that doesn’t impress you… It’s free.
