We invite you to learn and connect with your local government on Open Chapel Hill Day on June 28th from 10am-2pm. It’s a Townwide open house featuring facility tours, fun activities, and a chance to meet Town staff. Anyone is welcome to participate at their own pace.

You can start at any one of the seven Town locations. When you get there, you’ll pick up a passport that’ll guide you to each facility where you can get a site stamp.

Table with the stops, addresses, and activities.


A Chapel Hill Transit bus will stop at each facility every 20 minutes for anyone interested in sitting back and relaxing. Anyone who rides the bus will be able to take it back to their starting point. Parking is available at most locations, but is limited at Fire Station 4.

* Community members will also have a bonus opportunity to check out Orange Water and Sewer Authority’s (OWASA’s) Jones Ferry water treatment facility at 9am, before the Town event begins. More information on this available below and in the FAQs.
