About Shakori Hills

Shakori Hills Community Arts Center’s mission is to provide culturally significant arts, music and sustainability education and outreach to our local community and schools, while preserving the greenspace of its 72-acre Chatham County homestead.

Most famous for the Shakori Hills  Music Festival held every spring and fall, it has much of the infrastructure needed to support and sustain a community arts center. There is a permanent stage, a well-kept barn (known as the Coffee Barn), campgrounds, the Nonagon, ticket booth, security booth, parking gate booth, three concession stands, nice gravel roads, a shower house, a new permanent bathroom structure, a general store, deep-well drinking-water, and a whole lot of beauty.

On-site and adjacent parking will accommodate approximately 2,000 passenger vehicles. Campsites will accommodate approximately 500 campsites and vehicle parking spaces.

SHCAC is located at 1439 Henderson Tanyard Road in Chatham County, North Carolina in the fire district of Silk Hope–14 miles northeast of Siler City and 18 miles west of Chapel Hill. Shakori Hills is a beautiful farm of rolling hills and meadows in the very heart of North Carolina. This region is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, which brings artists, presenters of events and festivals and their participants from the mountains, the coast, and other areas of the United States. SHCAC is located near major highways and well-mapped state roads.
