Festival for the Eno River


  • West Point on the Eno 5101 North Roxboro Street Durham, NC, 27704 United States (map)

I have been attending the Festival for the Eno River for twenty eight years, growing up each summer looking forward to the beauty and love that Eno Fest always has been. This will be my first year vending at Eno Fest and I couldn’t be more proud or excited to join the festival in an official capacity.
Below is a brief description of the festival from their website.

Each year since 1980 the Eno River Association has presented the Festival for the Eno to draw thousands of folks to the shaded banks on the Eno River to sing dance and make merry with great food and crafts all while learning about natural resource conservation and raising funds for land protection in the Eno River basin.

The Festival the Eno has it's beginnings in the NC Folklife Festival held at Durham's newly created West Point Park in 1976 as the state's official bicentennial celebration and featured traditional crafts, music, dance and trades demonstrations. The  Festival's for the Eno is still dedicated to the preservation and presentation of our rich and varied cultures and still offers plenty of hands on learning opportunities.  Attendees can "throw" a pot on a clay wheel, watch a water powered grist mill grinding corn, or participate in urban farming, kayaking, weaving, and clean energy demonstrations, or participate in an old time or ukulele "jam" at the High Strung workshop stage.

That is, when they are not listening or dancing to the 60+ hours of music on 5 stages, browsing the booths of 80 plus crafts artists, drinking cold beers and other drinks, or diving into the delicious offerings of more than 20 food trucks and vendors.
