The 28th annual Festifall will take over downtown Chapel Hill on Sunday, bringing with it a wide array of food, music, arts and crafts. Parrish Anderson, public events coordinator for Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation, described the event as an arts and crafts fair with the added touch of a street festival. "There will be almost 100 artists and about 100 booths of arts and crafts," he said. "That is the main energy to the fair. We also throw into that the whole street-fair spirit." Festifall 2000 will be held from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., but streets will be closing earlier to accommodate the crowds. West Franklin Street will be closed from Church to Roberson streets and Mallette to Kenan streets from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Sunday. "Anywhere from 20,000 to 25,000 people are expected," Anderson said. "I heard that the weather will be nice, so I think (the number) will be higher." In addition to arts and crafts, the fair also features food, music and entertainment for children. "We're going to be having over 15 bands with all different kinds of music and local music," Anderson said. Children can have their hair or face painted, receive temporary tattoos or scale a climbing wall at Kidszone, which will be located near McDonald's. "PlayMakers (Repertory Company) is doing something really great," Anderson said. "The children can dress up in costumes and have their picture taken." Food also constitutes a major part of the festival, Anderson said. "We ask that vendors be international food vendors," he said. "Chinese food, Thai food and Polish food -- lots of different kinds." Soulful Taste of Nature will be providing vegan and vegetarian food for the first time this year. Regional dishes also will be a special feature at this year's festival. "Even though we're Chapel Hill, we're still Southern," Anderson said. "We have people serving barbecue, pork chops, cole slaw and mashed potatoes and gravy." Despite the wide variety of food offered on the streets, restaurants along Franklin Street also are preparing for the crowds. "We will be open our normal hours with extra waiters," said Rebecca Cage, associate manager of McAlister's Deli. "We're new, so we don't know what to expect. We're hoping it will be busy." Other Franklin Street stores also are gearing up for the festival. "The vendors of West Franklin Street know the drill," Anderson said. "Some will shut down to allow employees to enjoy the fair, and some will stay open to get business." Anderson said he expects Festifall 2000 to be another in a long line of successes. "It's a great family event," he said. "It's a tradition in Chapel Hill." The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
