JAWSFest, a once-annual Memorial Day Weekend celebration, is returning to the Midway in downtown Chapel Hill, NC in 2024. It includes a flea market, live music, karaoke, a mechanical shark, a dunk tank, and, of course, Jaws on the big screen.
There’s a lot going on at different businesses, and it’s a little bit hard to pin down online exactly everything that’s happening, but if you go there, you’ll figure it out.
It’s a big block party. Use 106 N Graham Street, Chapel Hill. Participating businesses include The Baxter, Lapin Bleu and Local 506, but events will also take place outside, in the Midway Alley. Other businesses, including Syd’s, Beer Study, IP3 and Al’s, might also be joining in the fun.
