Pittsboro, NC - Chatham Marketplace and the Glitter Society proudly present the fouth annual Pittsboro Mardi Gras. Pittsboro’s annual Mardi Gras is held this year on Saturday, March 5 at historic Chatham Mills on 480 Hillsboro Street from 7:00pm until the stroke of midnight.

The Pittsboro Mardi Gras continues a proud tradition of Laissez les bons temps rouler in Chatham County. We’ll be celebrating Fat Saturday with more fun, more music, more charity and more glitter than ever. Music from the Atomic Rhythm AllStars and Hobex will have you dancing the night away, and our photobooth by Meg Daniels will preserve your amazing costumes in photographic memory. Lots of surprises are planned for this sparkling evening.

Proceeds will benefit three amazing area non-profits: The Abundance Foundation, Triangle Land Conservancy, and Child Care Networks. Our Carnival has raised thousands of dollars for Chatham County charities the last three years.
