Cat’s Cradle is a well-known independent music venue located in Carrboro, a town adjacent to Chapel Hill. Originally established in 1977 by Bill McDonald, it quickly became a significant hub for alternative and independent music.

It operated at a smaller location before moving to its current larger space on West Franklin Street in 1992.
