Eno River
For many years, my family was on the road for the 4th of July holiday. I always heard about the Festival for the Eno in Durham, but because it coincided with other obligations, I couldn’t go…until last year.
And I have to say, it was worth the wait. The festival features several platforms for great music as well as grassy expanses on which to dance, sway, or sit. There is the river itself, which offers a bit of natural refreshment if you aren’t interested in the wares of ice cream or lemonade vendors. Of course, there are plenty of other food options, along with an eclectic variety of crafts for sale, including fabrics, pottery, glass, and wood items. I even remember seeing some places in the shade to check out some local farm animals.
The festival is environmentally-conscious, too, offering mass transportation as well as lots of places to recycle used plates or glasses,. If you are going to be in the area on July 3, 4, or 5 and are looking for some fun, I highly recommend heading to Durham. I hope to see you there!
Dates: July 3, 4, and 5 Time: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday
