2021 Phoenix Fest - Durham, NC


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 10/02/2021
Phoenix Fest celebrates everything that's wonderful about Durham and its African American history and culture. Join us this year as we celebrate our 20th anniversary and the significant role African Americans have played in Durham's past and our ongoing contributions to Durham's future. Phoenix Fest affirms the African American cultural traditions that allowed our ancestors to work collectively to build a thriving community despite tremendous obstacles and challenges. These traditions -- exhibited through music, dance and entrepreneurship -- lie at the core of the African American experience in Durham and throughout the United States. Music is the universal language and Phoenix Fest brings it to the street, free for all to enjoy. So come early and stay all day.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Phoenix Fest, sponsored by the Phoenix Shopping Centers, is an annual cultural celebration of the business and cultural legacy of Durham’s Hayti community, one of North Carolina’s oldest African American communities.

In celebrating Hayti's legacy, Phoenix Fest will again live up to its reputation as Durham's funkiest street music festival when Fayetteville Street is blocked off and transformed into a bustling bazaar with an early morning parade, all-day music, delicious food and dazzling vendor displays that will deliver a fun-filled day for thousands of festival goers.
