The Festival of Abundance is a community offering “from us and by us,” designed to celebrate the abundance that emerges when we choose care, collaboration, and cooperation over competition.
The event takes place May 23 and 24, 2026, at Carrboro Town Commons, 301 W Main Street, Carrboro, North Carolina. Some activities also take place at the Carrboro Arts Center, 400 Roberson Street, Carrboro, North Carolina.
- Saturday: 5 to 8 p.m.
- Sunday: 11 a.m. to 6 p .m.
Attendees will shape the space as they inhabit it with free food, free skill-shares, free supplies, literature, public art, music, games, and collaborative activities.
Part celebration, part convergence, this completely free, all-ages event invites attendees to experience and imagine a more hopeful, free, and just world, while connecting with community groups and passionate individuals working to make that world a present-day reality.
